That would work (and inside the current project). Just two remarks:

* Expectations are difficult to control. Even if we use an intimidating
name, some people will still expect this to provide more than it
actually does. For example, people kept thinking that the "2011.3"
release PPA would be updated, while it explicitly said it wouldn't.

* I don't think that's what Vish and Monty are after -- they
specifically mentioned the lack of a production-ready distribution
channel as the problem that we needed to solve
