*sigh* Sometimes I have a mind like a sieve. I prepped the release a few
days ago and meant to come back the next morning and send out emails
announcing it, as well as rolling it out to my animals, and got diverted
so that didn't happen and it slipped my mind. I'll go and do those
things now.

But the commit really shouldn't have happened until we know that most
buildfarm owners have installed it. It should have waited wait not just
for the release but for widespread deployment. Otherwise we will just
lose any logging for an error that might appear.

cheers
