Hi Nicholas,

I noticed that we now have a Cadence testing schedule and in order to
capture the current state I posted some screenshots here:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2140142&p=12659708#post12659708

It appears to me that we're not truly doing a two week cadence this
time, there are at least two three week intervals, eh?

Or maybe I'm just being premature in my judgment?

@ Julien, Phill, and the Lubuntu QA team,

I want to be sure we make the "right" decisions regarding which "opt-in"
choices we make.

As previously stated Alpha 2 and Alpha 3 are only two weeks apart which
gives little room to breathe, and I also have Ubuntu 12.04.3 testing to
focus on the week beginning August 12th.

Thanks to Nicholas and all for giving this your consideration,

Lance
