I should have been more specific.   Can Active be installed and co exist 
with a regular STABLE Plasma install ?   I'd like to enable testing for 
only the Active install.  Is that possible ?

Beautiful functionality !

How would this be done for the testing repository while keeping the 
Plasma from stable and not having dependency version issues ?

Again, from the point of view of having Active come from testing and 
keeping the rest of Plasma from stable ?

If one gets Plasma in totality from testing to handle the Active 
dependencies, what would be an easy way to uninstall Active and roll 
Plasma back to the latest version that is in stable ?

I don't mean to be a wuss, but I'd like to test Active on production 
machines.  I'm OK with having issues while running testing versions of 
Active and Plasma but I need to be able to roll back to Plasma stable at 
the end of it all if it doesn't work out.

Other than that, this is hugely big news.  I doubt very many people are 
aware of Active being available like this.
