Now that we're doing RFWTAD, I'd like to change our release process.

From:
lock down devel landings (to release-critical)
lock down db-devel landings (to release-critical)
while unqaed: qa
choose the rev of db-devel
unlock things
@scheduled time: release
merge db-devel to devel

To:
merge db-devel to devel
lock down devel landings (to release-critical)
while unqaed: qa
choose the rev of devel
unlock things
@scheduled time: release

This will have the following impact:
 - we'll see a clean db upgrade happen with all the db patches
 - code will converge faster (because we don't wait for the release to
have db-devel merged to devel)
 - revnos in production will not jump around
