Precedence: bulk

 * I have a proposal.  I'll keep working on the system I want to ship,
 * here in my corner with no serious pressure (except for what I apply to
 * myself).  If the release date is actually imminent (and it's not at
 * the moment, David's not even done merging bug fixes yet) and I've
 * still not got something better than what we have now, then I'll do
 * what I suggested; I'll just go with sysinstall from 2.1.0-950726-SNAP
 * and be done with it for 2.1.  No delays from me, no shifts in
 * paradigm, just the same old thing you all saw from the last SNAP.
 * I'll be sad, but I know that the SNAP worked for as many people (if
 * not more) than 2.0.5, so we'll be no WORSE off at least.

Ok Jordan, go ahead and play with sysinstall.  Lock yourself up in a
room with no windows (Justin, can you make sure the lock is secure?) 
and don't come out until you're done. :)

Just kidding, but I think sysinstall is important enough to merit that
kind of treatment.  If it doesn't install, all the new features and
"stability" and 15 devices for WIDE controllers mean nothing.

So why don't we let Jordan go start playing with it RIGHT NOW instead
of, say, right before ALPHA (or was it between ALPHA and BETA :) like
last time?  Since David isn't done with the main source tree anyway, I
think he has plenty of time to screw up and still make it work. :)
