[K12OSN] Looking forward!

[Eric Harrison]

I'm still working on the "muekow" rough-draft version for FC6. It works 
right now, but there are too many manual steps that need to be automated 
(just grunt work, nothing difficult). I had hoped to have it done last 
weekend, so it should be ready sometime real-soon-now ;-)

As for K12LTSP 6.0, the "muekow" packages will not be production-ready. 
It will use the "classic" LTSP packages by default. The basic 
infrastructure for "muekow" is already in FC6, so early adopters will be 
able to test it out and we can polish up to make it the default in FC7.
