Running -CURRENT is challenging enough, as I am continually finding out.
Personally, if I can make this process a little easier for others by a
simple HEADS-UP email message when appropriate, I'm willing to do it.  I
don't give a flying hoot what the other 200+ developers think or do on
this point, that what *I* do, and I'm sticking to it.

Peace,

Bruce.

PS.  Is it just me or is the fact that the debate over a HEADS-UP 
message is causing the HEADS-UP subject header to get propagated far 
longer than necessary, just especially ironic?

PPS.  It's also ironic that I chose to respond to this thread before
updating the release notes.  Sigh.
