I am hoping I am misreading or misinterpreting some of this because it
sounds to me like you are saying that the community can't see what fixes
a future 8uXY release contains until it is tagged and released on the
day of the release (which coincides with the day of the CPU). What I
understand is that we can still ask for changesets to be backported but
we can't actually see/test/fix the 8u66 trees until a release is "done"?
And the same will happen for the 8u72 release after this October so we
can't see/test/fix what-really-is-8u72 ether after October?

Is that right? 

Thanks,
Omair
