This is all great news, I'm very happy to hear of these development
efforts.  I'm curious though, will there be an announcement when
people should again begin testing trunk?

There are users, they indeed should stay stable (aka -fixes);
There are power users, they should stay stable, but eyeball and maybe
manually apply some patches from trunk from time to time;
There are testers, they should have a sort of development system or a
dual boot or a VM, or something similar so they can test and report
bugs
There are developers.  I won't pretend to know what they do :D

So given the vague line between power users and testers, I'm just
wondering when the testers should again begin "testing" trunk?

Thanks!
