+1 here too, making the release process itself easier/faster is always a
good IMO.

Does rise the question of whether we should even package these modules
in the release itself, or just release them separately.

I am preparing the report for the board, and I need to have it ready in
1-2 days, so let's just make sure we are happy with Fred's text (below)
and I'll submit it to the board.

Cheers.
