I have already reconsidered, and now find that I let the vocal minority
(who's speed of response was stunning) hold sway where it should not.
Therefore, Softlanding will distribute SLS, as before.

To that end, I would urge recompiling with 2.2.2d of large packages
like Gdb and groff, using -jump.  If it works as expected, then it will 
be possible to distribute updates that are just the new libs, and the 
new kernels.  It would also be nice to consolidate the fonts from
the different packages like X11 and TeX.
