If you'll excuse a user sticking an oar in...
I've been wondering if there oughtn't be a fall back release trigger. For example, there must be a point release to at the same time as the next normal release. 

Which would at least guarantee a point release happened.

(Probably want something a bit more frequent than that. Or perhaps a bit offset from the normal, so there aren't two things being tested at once.)

Anyway, first LTR experiment, RM's call on how it happens.
