Yeah, it seems like a foregone conclusion that release criteria would 
need to be modified.  I don't think the current proposal includes this, 
but perhaps it should.  Realistically what's going to be needed is some 
form of granularity on "primary".  At first blush I like the idea of a 
"primary server" and "primary desktop" designation (maintaining a 
unified build system) but haven't thought the full consequences through.
