Just a quick update, since it's been a couple days:

Tim, thanks for posting and clearing this up.  I really appreciate it.  I'm
working on a couple drafts for either meta or mediawiki.org (not sure which
is most appropriate, but I think that'll be clear when they're more
written), which explain this process and link to tools for navigating it.
