I hadn't seen an announcement so thanks.

Can anyone tell us how easy or difficult the upgrade to 0.22 will be
with LinHES? I suspect the Arch base system will make it quite easy,
but would like to hear about real life scenarios. (LinHES has been in
beta/RC for a while, and I suspect some brave souls must have tried an
upgrade to trunk on it at some point.)
