Exactly this.  When I tag an Eglot release, I check that tests run.  I
run some manual tests and I come to a conclusion as to its stability.
But there is no pretest or "release candidate" or anything like that.
It's not feasible, I don't even know how that would work.
So I make the release, watch for feedback closely the next days or
weeks and fix bugs for the next release.  In the interim I give people
workarounds.
