I'll review it. The release is tomorrow and Andy and I are starting to
feel quite tired after a full on week end. So I don't expect to be able
to do too many changes (tomorrow I must actually do some work).

Maybe we can merge in a version with a few TODO items remaining, and
we'll tackle these items afterward. The tasks that you mention don't
sound as blockers for me, as long as the tutorial is well doc-tested and
doesn't download heaps of data in the doc-tests.
