There's no way to know what they tested. It was not an RC, we did not
have an RC until about 10 minutes ago. Yesterday's full compose was a TC
(test compose).

What they tested was one of the nightlies from
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ , but we can't
tell which because they didn't give a date.

The NVIDIA driver benchmark is just weird, but not something we'd care
much about anyway. All the others look within the range of meaning very
little, to me.
