Well, if there was enough demand for it, I guess I could whip something
up to do it...  (It wouldn't be too hard, just a few lines of perl)

Note that I personally dislike the idea, but I'm happy to go along with
what people want.  IMHO, if we do this, then we're going to have problems
with people that are running -stable not knowing what's in the pipeline in
-current, and we'll start to see wheels being reinvented...
