I would still like to hear PW's opinion on this; it seems to me like stopping package building might be viewed as a first step towards dropping support for ports. Like, give people two weeks or something, maybe a month, then kill the 3.x bits :) Not that I don't agree with removing the 3.x bits - I've said several times in the past that FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS oughta be removed or conditionalized or something..
