[wp-testers] Verifying core update works for the real 2.7 to 2.7.1

[Kirk M]

Unless I'm grossly mistaken, the ".# " versions are built on an "as 
needed" basis due to new security issues popping up (zero day hacks and 
the like) and/or a major issue or issues are found with the 2.7 series. 
Once a milestone release goes "gold" it shifts from trunk to branch and 
minor security/bug fix updates are made from that particular branch. 
There's no continuous development once 2.7-final is released and goes to 
branch that I know of.
