Clearly en-GB is not the only build in this state - about half the 
release download matrix is still not up-to-date.  It may help to add a 
note on the release download page stating when the first binary of 3.3 
was distributed and the cut-off date for testing RCs so users can get an 
idea of a) the newness of this release, and b) the fact we can't get all 
possible variants QA'ed at the same time so patience may be needed.

Please do - more testers would certainly help speed the QA process!
