[cfe-dev] [Release-testers] [4.0 Release] Schedule and call for testers

[Hans Wennborg via cfe-dev]

It's not atomic, but I specify a specific revision when creating the
branch, across all projects, so it has the same effect.

When creating tags on the branch I just create it on tip-of-tree since
the branch is low traffic.

Does that address your concerns?
