Happy Friday ROS-Release,

I'm afraid I've not yet gotten the idea of ROS pre-release. One thing
is, what does the failure of the majority of previous prerelease tests
mean?
http://jenkins.ros.org/view/Prerelease/
Do maintainers fix on their upstrem repositories after getting
pre-release error, and release w/o pre-release?

Not sure what others do. I like to run the "devel" pre-release on the source repo before using bloom-release. I usually skip the "latest" option, which uses the release repo, instead.

I would be interested to know what different tests those options actually perform.
