Well I'm interested in seeing the result :}. And I'll happily accept
patches / even tweak the odd thing in setup to accomodate your needs. I
can't commit the time needed to do release testing or policy
documentation though.

You'll also need a setup program to install your 'stable distribution'.

(*) setup.exe can be reused, but you *will* need some changes to teach
it that there is a stable distribution, and the unstable distribution.
My thought on the prev / curr / test buttons has been to treat them like
distributions, but there was a lot of resistance when I suggested that.
So currently there is not separation between the three. IF there is
community support, I'm happy to have setup present 'stable' , 'curr' and
'testing/exp' and have an (optionally) hard barrier between stable and
curr.
