It probably won't be. But then, if 'there might be problem cases' was a
sensible reason for refusing to implement any process, we'd never
implement any at all. There are problems with Bodhi, sometimes - should
we not have it? There are bugs in KDE packages - should we not have
them? It's just a silly assertion.

BTW, the update in question has no feedback from *anyone* yet. I'd
happily vote-by-proxy if some XO users who aren't proventesters had
posted +1s, but none have. Can anyone reading this list who has an XO
(or other Geode hardware) please test the update? Thanks.
