I think, mostly, we'll need to update the installation program (which
should be fairly easy assuming they havent changed it much for 5.2),
get the 5.2 packages, and then test using 5.2.

You're right -- it shouldn't be much work.  And, considering I don't
see a release-date in sight, we should probably just move to 5.2.

We probably wont release until IAP, anyways -- considering it's already
November.  (Sigh).
