It's been almost 6 months since I was deactivated from the swift-core
team. I did not set up your PPAs. I offered to sort out your PPA's for
the Bexar release, but I believe your response was "lol". :) I'm not
entirely sure what happened after that.

Understanding what purpose your current PPA's serve would be quite
helpful (in order to find a good migration path to line up with
everyone else).

It would also be helpful to understand (and have documented) how your
production packages are different (and why).

What is that based on (if I wanted to provide patches for it)? Is it
in the swift code repo?
