Yeah, I think that most of it will still work just fine. I think someone 
reported that step 7 or 8 of the messageboard product was still working on 
the trunk, which is impressive. Before the final release I will take some 
time and make sure that all the packages will still work without 
modification.

Right, this cannot be avoided. But I already talk very little about services 
in the book.

I am not sure how much time I will have. I am very booked till school starts 
again. I would need at least a week to get everything updated, not to mention 
covering new features.
