So I guess one concern I have is for complex transitions we often end up
doing quite a few britney test runs, and this will make it more likely
that test runs end up with different results from the "real" one.
Arguably that could happen today if you're not running after whichever
comes last of "last dinstall before britney" and "1800Z BugsV update",
but my screwup (and resulting nightmares :) ) from the last perl
transition makes me a bit hesitant. (Plus I don't really mind the
morning run being mostly autoremovals.)
Anyway, take that for what little it's worth, I don't have a strong
opinion either way.
Cheers,
Julien
