@Steve: I agree, i think this is the best solution, given how little time we have before release.

How do distributions upgrades work? I just downloaded upgrade-manager-core and was greeted by a bunch of python scripts... which means I'm not gonna look through them. Does anyone know how this works? What is the backend in the upgrade? Will tar get pulled from SRU? If it tar gets pulled from the stable release, we have an issue, if it gets pulled from SRU, then we're in the clear.
