[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Evergreen Test Writing Day

For monthly releases, I doubt that it would be a huge deal. I don't
think the tests would normally get back ported to the release branches.

I just recall that 2.9.0 release day was a bit of a pain because people
kept pushing documentation commits after I had already started working
on the release.

I still think it would be a good idea to have test writing day or any
other day involving code or documentation to fall on days other than
release days.

It is tough enough to get releases together without the added
distractions.

(Particularly difficult for me since our release schedule seems to
fall on the day after my consortium's Executive and/or Membership
meetings, so I have a day full of meeting the day before the release.)

Cheers,
Jason
