We like to have primarily tested:
- time/timezone setting with UTC and localtime

- grub bootloader installation

If i moved the RCs finally to public dir i could make this annouce on
arch-general. IMHO i could not post anything to "Announcements, Package
and Security Advisories" forum on bbs? Maybe this is something you,
Aaron, have to do then...
