If there are indeed 40 other revisions of unrelated changes, then the
only sane choice for 3.0 is what we have right now or 0.14.1 (if that
will be basically what we have right now). I realize there are other
fixes in there, but if they aren't affecting us in production, we can
worry about them in september.

What we should be discussing as well is how to avoid having a release of
Storm break so spectacularly on us; should we have a more active upgrade
policy like we do for bzr, maybe rolling it out on one or two appservers
at a time to see what the effect is?
