+Spend several days along with the community explicitly investing time and

+resources to try and break Docker in every possible way, documenting any

+findings pertinent to the release.  This time should be spent testing and

+finding ways in which the release might have caused various features or upgrade

+environments to have issues, not coding.  During this time, the release is in

+code freeze, and any additional code changes will be pushed out to the next

+release.

+It should include various levels of breaking Docker, beyond just using Docker

+by the book.

+

+Any issues found may still remain issues for this release, but they should be

+documented and give appropriate warnings.
