  Ah, thanks.  I missed the discussion when stage 2 fell out of use, it would
be nice if someone who was there at the time added a note to develop.html - is
it an ad-hoc thing that we've just done for a couple of releases because it
made sense at the time or was there an SC decision to permanently modify the
development plan?
