FreeBSD Release Engineering testing

Here are some ideas:

Basic sanity checks:

• install FreeBSD via installer to a few real and virtualized systems.
• install HTTP (www/nginx), DNS services and survive basic traffic test;
• successfully do a self-hosted 'make tinderbox' build;

Regression tests:

• Run regression tests (head/tools/regression?)
• Check ABI against previous release (devel/abi-compliance-checker) – important to make sure that there are no ABI surprises across release.

Additionally:

• maybe one cluster system upgraded to the RC so we eat our own dogfood. (Is this too crazy).
• not sure but can we run the code on pointyhat/ports build cluster as well?

• XinLi provided a lot of the ideas on this page.
