There are internally, although I don't know if they were made
publically available or not.  I believe there would be high value
in making them publically available though for some external
final testing, but I'm not sure what the official plan is.

mkj:  Any chance we can push the latest test ISOs out for people 
to do final/semi-final testing?

(This feels odd replying on bottom to a mail that was replied on 
 top.  Probably looks very confusing to people reading it too.  
 Ah well, I refuse to reply on top, which is broken, so I'm sure 
 people will deal with it, or start a "Why reply on top is 
 considered harmful" flamewar or something.  <grin>)
