Manual testing: upgrade tests from ~rc1 when testing a final major release
Originally created by @CyrilBrulebois on #17601 (Redmine)
Claiming the upgrade test, I wasn’t sure whether I should try upgrading from both 4.4.1 and 4.5~rc1 to 4.5; looking at actual instructions, the doc clearly says “the previous stable release”.
Would it make sense to suggest upgrading from the RC when preparing a final major release? Just in case this regresses, we might have a chance to document stuff to RC users/testers before they run into possible issues? Or is it a case where we might spend a few minutes for close to 0 benefits?
(Given the big changes that came up in 4.5~rc1, I will try this upgrade just to be on the safe side in this specific case, having a chance to uncover any latent issues if any.)
