As discussed at the meeting, sounds fine to me. It doesn't usually make 
an awful lot of sense to run a test day right before GA, but there are 
cases where it is reasonable (say, we want to check how well a new 
feature really works for documentation and post-release update 
purposes), and the practical consideration that what's 'right before 
release' when we set the test day schedule may well be 'three weeks 
before release' once we actually get there ;)
