Indeed.  I wouldn't use them.  At this point, most arches don't even
build completely.  Also, you don't have the 2008.0 snapshot (and you
won't get it... :P) so the specs are useless, since we switched to a new
multi-parent profile layout.  In fact, it is this layout which is
causing most of our problems.

If you want *working* specs, grab 2007.0 (or even 2007.1) and work from
there.  Using the in-progress specs is *never* a good idea, since they
could be broken, especially since most release coordinators don't update
their specs in SVN until after things have built properly.
