The time it takes to do a release nowadays might very well be related to the use of testing. I tend to think we did better before we introduced testing. We should try to make a release without using testing, and see how it goes (but in doing so, we must try to keep arches in sync, for the mental sanity of the security team -- that's maybe the only thing testing is good at).
