I wonder if it actually should be decided by Walter at all? You never 
know for sure if a release is truly stable until it's been exercised a 
bit. DStress seems like a good start; if there are any regressions, it's 
clearly not a stable release. And the more tests get added to it, the 
more confidence we can have in it.
