This brings up an interesting question: how is LTS->LTS support going to
work? Currently you have to upgrade sequentially (5.10->6.06->6.10-
>etc) but by the time the next LTS release comes out, that's going to
be a long string - and I can't see the corporate target market of the
LTSes
being too happy with an upgrade setup that takes a week to run...

I assume there's going to be some sort of super-upgrader for LTS->LTS work -
anyone know of any planning on that front?
