I believe this has been a source of a lot of confusion, and one which
I keep running out of time to ensure we discuss at our Tuesday
meetings.  I'm speaking for jg here, and I might be wrong, but my
understanding is that JG wanted to ensure he could keep tabs on
exactly what was changing between ship.2 and update.1, but that
update.1 will be (eventually) substantially the same as "joyride at
the time of code freeze".  We'll pull a diff and make sure that if any
joyride-at-time-of-code-freeze package is *not* in update.1, we know
exactly why.  We have had differences of opinion here, so I probably
shouldn't try to elaborate further.
