So am I, but who will test user mode and more generally (user and system)
what is the test procedure?

For instance someone (Andzrej?) mentionned  ARM in system mode is half
slower than it was before TCG.  Also the ARM target needs some fixing.

Perhaps doing at least one release candidate to get feedback (and focus on
fixing reported bugs) would be appropriate.

Cheers,
