1. The current version of gentoo is 2004.0. gentoo 2004.1 is tentatively
scheduled for 28 April. Thanks to Luuk for pointing this out. This is of
little significance to users with existing systems, as an 'emerge -u
world' will pull in all new functionality. However it is of significance
to installing from binaries, as we hope to do for the min-fest. This is
because 2004.1 should see the release of a new set of up to date
binaries for each architecture, meaning less recompilation to get a
given system updated. There will also be a huge lot of downloading if we
want to have all of the architecture's binaries available for the fest.
Lets see,  about 5G I think.

So should we:

a. ignore this and use 2004.0, leaving a significant amount of
recompiling to do; or
b. use 2004.1 and do 5G of downloading between 28 April and 1 May
(assuming the release is on time, that the mirrors get them sooner
rather than later, etc etc,)
c. delay two weeks (I will be away on the weekend of the 8th) and do
2004.1 at a more leisurely pace?

2. there was a 2, but i have forgotten what it was :-(
