[READTHIS] Familiar v0.5 and the Unstable feed

Greetings,
    I just wanted to get a note out to people about some of the work
being done before v0.5 hits the shelves.

There are a bunch of things I'd like to get updated (like libc) which will be
creating incompatibilities with existing v0.4 installs (even if you've been
tracking unstable). Because of this, we've decided to not support upgrades for
v0.5. Just to be clear:

   Moving to Familiar v0.5 will require a reflash of the filesystem.

This also means that the current people tracking the unstable feed, from
a v0.4 base, should _stop updating against the feed_. Continuing to
track the unstable feed could/will lead to your iPAQ becoming unbootable
(due to library conflicts). As soon as the v0.5 pre-release images start
coming out, you should be able to start tracking unstable again (assuming
you've reflashed).

The unstable feed will remain in ``working'' order for the rest of Friday. I
won't start pushing in any serious changes until Saturday evening (PST).

Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions.

Alexander
