  Noted.


: BTW, what I'm missing is some way to do pkg upgrades. Either for a single 
: one (plus "fix all dependencies") or -- more important for me - for a full 
: update ("bring me to the latest quarterly release, updating everything 
: neccessary").

  Like I said, these are the foundations to allow that to be
implemented easily.  These are the parts of the update prolem that I
understand well and that are independent of policy decisions.  Once we
have the building blocks in place, we can build on them to provide a
complete solution (or more than one, depending on differing needs).
