There isn't an officially documented way to do this, but it's something
like: Major releases (first beta, etc) go through a general consensus
between EA, DICE, and me. Emergency patches will just get thrown out there
by me, and I don't imagine anyone will object.

I'm not a DICE or EA employee; I'm a contractor.

The current release was (foolishly, I guess) believed to be stable enough
for public testing.

I'll announce them here. They won't be full packages, just replacement
files.
