But it did.  :-)

Will this be done?  Will 9.0's urpmi be compiled for 8.2 and put on
the update servers or is it up to each individual to do this
themselves?

I did go ahead and change my urpmi sources from an 8.2 archive to a
Cooker archive on an 8.2 box, then I added "dev" to the skiplist and
simply ran a "uprmi --auto-select" and it (seemed) to upgrade
everything.  You say it should not have been solid enough to.  Is
there anything you can think of I should look for that wouldn't have
worked quite right?

About the only thing I had to do afterwards was resolve some .rpmnew
files and viola, I have a shiny new Cooker/beta/rc<whatever> machine
complete with an LVM-on-root (pathes coming at you Pixel!) setup.

I really don't think anybody who wants apt-get has anything to gripe
about with uprmi.

Cool!
