By "ready" I don't mean perfect, as a glance at my changelog since 4.0.1-1
will reveal. I wanted packages that:
1) had stabilized in their layout (number of packages, their names, and
contents) so that the package relationship control data didn't stretch
into the gigabytes
2) were stable enough that I didn't have wankers filing hundreds upon
hundreds of redundant bugs in an onanistic frenzy everytime I made some
little slip-up
You know, kinda like the way I went nuclear on Wichert when he broke vim.
