I still need some input. BTW, given the reported crashes in launchpad as
well as reported on IRC, I feel that experimental might be a good idea
until a possible 2.43a release.

Still to be done, (n+1)th target for me.

Done.

My next target.

Nobody cares? I guess that status quo prevails, then.

Done, with 2.42a-{6,7}, but w/o the (aborted) etch1 upload.

Cheers,
