Maybe we could start it for the 3.3 release process.  It would need to
be widely announced, and we'd need to come up with an appropriate blurb
to set people's expectations correctly: that the tarballs being announced
are prereleases for testing, don't use them for production; that there is
no commitment to delaying the actual release if problems are found on
non-primary platforms, etc.
