@ Julien, we could do with milestones being CD sized for the 'older kit' :)

@ Lars, can you raise a bug so Kate can include it in the release notes for
A1

(21:39:47) skaet: phillw, let me know the bug number, or feel free to put
directly in the TechnicalOverview, so the direction is clear.
(21:40:04) skaet: (ie. that you're trying to fit in CD image)

Regards,

Phill.
