So while Andre and Jeff determine what's what, I've held back pushing the latest bits from /snapshots/ to /staging/.

Hopefully by the end of the work day in Europe tomorrow they'll have a solution and I can build something tomorrow morning-and-afternoon (if it's not already built before I wake up) which can be pushed to staging.

I expect this will delay QE's review for a day or two too, which means code freeze will likely extend through next Wednesday. 

Meanwhile, please write your N&N, or work in a topic branch until we're ready to start on 4.9 / 12.9 development.
