            The Commons
            [http://commons.apache.org/releases/prepare.html
            Preparation Guide] is a helpful preparation backgrounder, but
            Commons
            uses the "beta/release-candidate/final" process.

            Likewise, the [http://httpd.apache.org/dev/release.html
            HTTPD Release Guidelines] is a helpful "overall process"
            backgrounder,
            but HTTPD does not use a test-build stage.
