I think that ship has sailed long ago. I _never_ had a clean Source
Mage install in about 8 years now. There is always something broken
that needs manual care. We had times where the project was much more
vital and even then there was always something broken. We should
document the issues one needs to fix up manually and get going.

Actually, I must admit I'm not sure anymore of what specific upgrade
blockers you are talking. I must have hit them somehow during the
journey from an install from the old x86-64 ISO to devel-xorg grimoire.
There was so much to fix ... what was the specific issue of upgrading
xorg?


Alrighty then,

Thomas
