+
+Just for reference (I'll post full details once I've got them worked
+out), the upgrade process from mga2 (or earlier) to mga3 will likely be
+interesting due to the planned usr move.
+
+It will probably require a "preparation" step which will involve booting
+with a special initrd. This will likely need updated packages.
+
+So while we can't guarantee users upgrade *this* package, we might have
+to mandate that users will install at least some updates!
+
+The process itself is actually relatively simple, but I think personally
+it would be nice to get the base bits done before the big rebuild after
+the new glibc comes along as we can use the opportunity to add some
+extra lint rules and tidy up some specs.
