Yes :{ Which does proof Jesse's point of course.
There is no substitute for just dumping the code into rawhide
to give it a thorough testing... The original plan
Jakub had was to do a complete out-of-repo mass-rebuild before
adding it, but ran out of time, so that would have made it hit
rawhide even later... And Alex has been fast fixing any issues.
