Note on this: a 1.9 will be coming which should be identical to 1.8
except with Cinnamon and Budgie fixed (they were broken by the GNOME 46
FE in 1.8, and their images are missing). Testing on 1.8 is still
useful and can mostly be transferred to 1.9, but you might want to wait
6-7 hours for 1.9 to show up before starting testing.
