Please - it was *just* released, and the build team is presumably already
on it. Hopefully, upstream hasn't screwed with their build environment
again.

At any rate, when upstream did, it took our build team about a month to
get builds working again; if they haven't, then I'd hope for a few weeks.

PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE people, *don't* turn this into a 5k posts a day
arguing over whether the build team is lazy, or 75% of them "ANYTHING
NEW?! HOW SOON?!!!!!!!!!

Give them some bloody time, children. It's a job of work, as the old
saying goes.
