    + does not matter for Cloph (Cloph)
    + proposed the move to close the gap before the 1st release build (Bjoern)
        + for better testing
    + it would be from master, not to replace any stable version or anything
        + actually just an 'official daily build' (Cloph)

        + correct, no impact on feature freeze or anything (Cloph, Bjoern)

        + not really; but PPA has quite some testing, putting alpha there (Bjoern)

    + let's try it then - seems no opposition :-) (Kendy)

        + done, but setting up new bugzilla from that is tricky
            + we would have to ask everybody to re-register, etc.
        + a real dump would _really_ help - linking of bugs etc.
