Correct, however I was involved in picking the action date.  We figured
Test2 was a good time as any.  Gives us time where RH's systems won't be
completely bogged down w/ downloaders of a new release, so that we can
be fully up to speed even quicker.  As time progresses and Legacy is
involved even closer w/ Red Hat, there will likely be very little
'transition' work that has to be done.

Right.  Dates are hard, but actions are easy to aim for.
