from the discussion on irc i have glimpsed mention of making a new label
fl:2.5, and treating the transition from fl:2 to fl:2.5 just like the
one from fl:1 to fl:2.

i like this idea because it allows us to keep new users away from
fl:2-qa, and what's more, i think it also allows testing the the
transition from fl:2 to fl:2.5 in exactly the same manner as an fl:2
user would experience it, whereas an upgrade from fl:2 now to a future
fl:2 with a push from fl:2-qa can not be tested without actually pushing
first because i believe that a migration may behave differently than an
updateall. (but maybe i am wrong here)

it is really unfortunate that i am just to busy these days to hang out
on irc. it is much easier to follow a discussion on lists when i am
busy, because i can pick subjects which are interesting to me, i can
read them any time, and reply any time later, and catch up on other
stuff later.

greetings, martin.
