Shame on me for running -STABLE in production then. I've always done 
this though, but fortunately its never caused any serious problems. It 
is called STABLE after all. One question though, were the porters 
notified of the upcoming changes? And were they provided with the 
appropriate information to write the RC scripts before the merge?
