I always test the new release on the machines I have access to, currently Linux and Solaris. The "release candidate" process makes sure that the release compiles on the architectures that people on this list care about (e.g. Windows, but possibly others). You don't need a time machine for that. If noone bitches, I'll remove MACHINES from the distribution.
