I don't object to the idea, and it might be mudding waters/adding
process, but couldn't these things be 'acceptance tests'? 

ie, rel-eng composes the bits from devel, syncs them up and then a very
small set of acceptance tests are run on them. If they all pass, great,
and QA accepts the compose for testing. If they don't, then the compose
is dead and never goes to wider QA testing. 

That may be too much red-tape and formal, or it might be more clear to
some people. :) Just thought I would toss it out there. :) 

Anyhow, I'm +1 to the idea in general.
