Well, I didn't until an hour or so ago.  And looks like I'm not the only one 
who missed it.

Understood, and I'm happy to take your word for it if you're saying the whole 
shebang is doable.  I do however think that the sooner an official reminder 
and a more explicit explanation about things packagers need to take care of 
(such as things discussed in this thread, eg. what does it mean if I update a 
package in FE6 and devel now) than what's currently in the Wiki can be sent, 
the better.
