I think we should test on the trunk, otherwise the inevitable fixes for different machines will have to be separately applied to both branches. Since we haven't done ANY testing on anything other than the Ubuntu Jenkins VM yet, I think it's better to hold off on the release branches until we have some confidence in trunk.</div></div><div><br></div><div>So I would say the next step is to start testing. Erik: you have a well-developed infrastructure for this. Would you be able to submit a batch of tests?</div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
