I did a quick grep in britney and it may be ok as is, so I'd say go ahead with 
it and if things break we can look at them.

The transition tracker & ben may need the new component added in its config 
files, and the release-tools will need extra changes, though that shouldn't 
block those as that is mostly used for (old)stable.
