I meant to say "while we allowed testing before transparently cutting over to 13.0" and "use.stable.mask and friends, but because this was a transparent cutover, ie no user had to switch profiles from ../10.0/... to ../13.0/... via eselect profile, it just automatically happened one day (ie I did it behind the scenes), I needed to convince myself it would work without incident.
