Hi Liane,
Thank you for this write-up as it makes the future far less foggy. I
do have a question though, as for install, we usually build on a release
or two behind OS\Net:

So, if I understand the last sentence correctly, I would need to run on
build 127 to build the Install packages for build 127?
Not at all. Dependencies are on what you built against. Dependencies in
IPS are of the form "at least". So, if you build on 125, your
dependencies will say, for example, you need at least build 125 libc --
which is true, because that's the version that you know your symbols
resolve against. The incorporation governs the surface, and it will tie
all of build 127 together.
