It will probably be worthwhile for you to at least look at the Helix
stuff. It's basically the latest released versions of each individual
component, plus some bugfixes from the cvs mainline that haven't made
it into releases yet.
Note that it's a moving target though, and the CD is about a month old
now.

I'm curious to know what Nat actually said. At any rate, this is not
true. We haven't done any "tuning up", and we've actually _added_ some
gratuitous changes.
But, the sources are distributed as SRPMs with the untouched original
sources and patch files with reasonably-obvious names, so you can take
the ones you like and avoid the ones you don't.
