For those who didn't get the source-commits bombardment today, I've now
executed these changes.
Given that I made over 125 commits today, people should probably spend
some time reviewing the changes.
I recommend that people not build and upload all the packages until
Tuesday, to give time for said review before we ship the new versions.
