The mass package rename recently will cause a major headache for

attempting to upgrade to 2010.03. It is probably too late to make
changes to IPS to reduce the memory usage at this late stage, but it
should otherwise be put into the release notes. I'm posting this here
rather than filing a bug as I'm assuming this is already in progress,
but just in case it hasn't I'm flagging it up here. ;-)
Thanks for the notice. Yes, we are well aware of the ramifications and
the issue will definitely be release noted.
Although it's important to note that those upgrading using the /release
repository instead of the /dev repository are less likely to experience
the same issues. Memory usage right now is partially a function of the
size of the repository you're using for each publisher.
So if you can't upgrade using the /dev repository now, wait until 2010.x
is put into the /release repository and upgrade using that one instead.
