This all feeds back into my original assertion about quarterlies.
It seems like there is a near-term goal to move regular users to
quarterlies, but without portsnap support and without uniform and
quality updates, nobody is going to use it.  If people are serious about
quarterlies, it needs serious support which it doesn't have right now.
