Next time before you release gold, just make an announcement. Then 
people (like me for example) could download silver/trunk (which should 
be the upcoming release) and test it. That way some burden of testing is 
released from you and nobody on the axiom-developer mailing list could 
say after the gold release that it doesn't build on his system.

What about that suggestion? Or do you really want to test everything 
alone and wait for complaints after the release?
