But then we need a 2_NONUS, or perhaps we just arrange for all packages to be in popularity order, and have as many non-US CDs as it happens to take depending where the packages land. I think that's a big enough change to leave for a later release, unless someone else is confident that they can change this without breaking things. I think my next cut will allow erlang and xspecs back in CD1, to see what that gives us.
