Okay, replace "DP" with "most recent build", which will usually reflect 
the current state of bug fixes.

The point here is less about build nomenclature than about the choice 
between testing and not testing.

One of those choices allows the possibility that any issues specific to 
one's work can be addressed before the version goes final.

The other choice almost guarantees they won't be. :)
