[racket-dev] Pre-Release Checklist for v5.3

From: Doug Williams (m.douglas.williams at gmail.com)

I had sent a separate e-mail to Matthew wondering if it was in the
module name resolver, which has also been modified. It would seem (to
me naively anyway) that that would be more likely to have OS
dependencies than the lazy require. Or maybe an unexpected interaction
between those two.
