We have had a big shift in development, with a firm requirement that the
archive been in a state you can develop against the entire cycle.  For
instance we have held kernel updated until the associated binary drivers
caught up, to aid testing and development in Unity.  This sort of thing
is going on accross the whole disto.  Also the new stable+1 team has
been hammering hard on failures, and getting things removed which are
broken.  Overally the release has been a much less rocky place even
prior to Alpha-1.

Long may it continue.
