Alright cool ... it would have been nice to get at least one more person 
to chime in and say "I'll help test" but since there are at least three of 
us interested i'll get started on backporting the patches with the plan 
that Miller will be RM, with Grant as the fall back RM if Miller runs into 
any problems.

worst case scenerio we should have an RC ready a few days after Buzzwords, 
and i imagine we should be able to finalize everything within a week after 
that.

: I can do it too, but not until after Buzzwords.  It's pretty automated at 
this point, Mark, other than the 700 lines of instructions that are not 
automated ;-)
