But you haven't covered the very serious issue here: sarge can't even ship
as is. Why the temptation to introduce even more problems (the possibility
of 2.4 piecemeal migrating) instead of ensuring a shippable sarge by letting
2.2 migrate down completely?
1.4 isn't my worst fear. Broken (current status) and/or delayed *are*.
