No, this is not the time for 5.28.0. This is a special case because we
absolutely do not want to pollute the testers results database with tests
against "5.28.0" that isn't actually that version. That leaves 5.27.12 as
the only realistic value to use here, even though we know that release
won't actually happen and it will turn into 5.28.0 instead.
