I'm not planning to do this for a while.  Base packages are supposed to
stop changing so that sarge has a hope of releasing this year; I
believe the latest date is next week.  I don't think bumping up to a
new release is wise.

Of course, I might be wrong, or the release folks might disagree with
me - can I get a second opinion here?
