Description
Sometimes astropy bugfix release somehow includes breaking changes, making downstream maintainers cry. Would be nice if we run integration testing against backport branch or RC before pushing out a bugfix release. cc @astropy/astropy-project-release-team
Current outcome: Some crying when picking up new bugfix version of astropy.
Desired outcome: No crying.

Research direction
No file, test path, or workflow entry point is named in the issue. Start by reviewing the repository's existing workflows and integration-test setup, then determine how a backport branch or release candidate can be tested before a bugfix release. Done means the workflow runs those integration tests against the proposed pre-release version and prevents the described breaking release from passing unnoticed.
