Well, I'm pretty sure I subscribed to the whole wiki a while back, but I
don't remember seeing the update for 1.0.0rc1. Then again, I may just be
mentally filtering wiki updates out of my 'things-to-read' list.

If you are keeping that page up to date, then I'll certainly look there
in the future.

Though that still leaves me hanging for:
  subvertpy
  bzr-rebase/rewrite

That is certainly easier for me :). And if you do it across all the
plugins that you maintain that we are packaging, then it is a consistent
location to get updates.

Also, once we get the buildbot stuff sorted out, it means that the
windows 'nightly builds' that we'll end up will also start packaging the
latest versions right away.

Fair enough, I'm not really sure how that side of things works. Anyway,
thanks for working with me on this. I really do want to keep up to date
with your work. It has just felt that somehow I was missing info on what
was actually the 'latest' work when I went to start packaging.
