Agree with Benjamin that testing in phases, i.e. separate periods of time,
has positives that we can take advantage of.

I don't think it can be limited to the above. They are our minimum
requirements to getting to beta, to rc, and to GA. But in practice we wait
and receive bug reports from downstream testing efforts. Such testing isn't
necessarily possible pre-commit, e.g. third-party and not feasible to
continuously run, nor appropriate to upstream/open-source.

We want GA releases to be production ready for any cluster at any scale. So
I guess in practice for us Stable Trunk != GA, but that's ok – just being
honest to the ideal we are moving towards.
