Ah, some sort of preview release. This could a way to handle the
situation. Thanks for offering this idea!
It's probably best to not put all of *-Combinat, but only those stable
parts that are waiting for reviews Sage. As a side effect this will
make for a dry-run release, checking that their integration indeed
goes smoothly (or not!).
Just out of curiosity: do you think sage -upgrade would be able to
handle the later transition sagecombinat-4.1 -> sage-4.2?

Will do this afternoon, and put some guards to mark those part we want
to integrate into sagecombinat-4.1.
Cheers,
Nicolas
