There are at least the never-resting auto-testers, which for mine report:
Build tests: total: 133 pass: 133 fail: 0
Qemu tests: total: 30 pass: 30 fail: 0
Details at http://server.roeck-us.net:8010/builders.
This is an absolute first; since I started testing, we never had an -rc1 with no build or qemu failures. Excellent job everyone!
