Totally awesome.  Thank you both for doing this -- I can probably
safely speak for the community when I say we all appreciate it.  :-)

Also, related yet unrelated: our production environment is running the
experimental server as of ~48 hours ago, and things seem okay.  Our
rsync jobs have all passed w/out issue, no anomalies.

The stablerestart(5) stuff needs to get dealt with before the switch-to
experimental-server-as-default gets flipped on, but I know you'll get to
that, Rick.  If you need any testing/help from me, just let me know.
