--QA

When PostgreSQL updates are prepared, not only do they have to be
built but they also get tested in installation and upgrade mode on all
supported versions of OS X, including some of the server versions.
That obviously takes time and hardware, and is done over a brief
Friday - Sunday period to fit in with the release procedure.
