I want to test this, but I've arrived late to the party. Does the link
above contain the most recent round(s) of feedback? I've tried to build
the wip-installer branch, but I found that the installation system tests
failed, so I thought I'd ask before trying to build it myself.
Nothing signficant has changed since this image was made. So your comments will
still be valid and appreciated.
Thanks,
John
