Ok, but can this be done as a transition to the new release structure.
I know the wiki is still a long list of details and won't be a
straight forward, "I'm going to ... where do I find that." But I think
we'll need you to handle a little bumpy release while we clearly lay
this out.
http://wiki.dlang.org/Release_Process
To make the transition I need to set the expectation of this beta. Do
not expect it to be released in the next two weeks or month. The new
process we are to run a beta until 'master' has reached another state
when you feel "Time for another Beta." (which should be about every 2
months). If we were in the process we'd be releasing what was in
'staging,' but we haven't got there yet.
Now, merge 'master' into 'staging' and fix all regressions against 'staging.'

So these steps are written in the order we'll do them this time, but
not exactly what it will look like the next time.
