For things which have an impact outside of themself, we're going to need
to hold the line pretty well if we're going to actually hit the release

Given the fact that it's a pretty major feature and needs to have some

There's one repository of packages.  New packages will be able to
trickle into the released repository, but some of the mechanics of that
aren't fully fleshed out yet.
