Yes, idlesuspend is not being disabled during activity update yet --
but then again, it hasn't been disabled for any weekly.  Joyride-2301
has a fix, but I'm not convinced yet that it's always working.  I've
been idle suspend occur during upgrade, and it shouldn't. =(

There are also networking hangs; a few activities specify non-existent
or terribly broken URLs; at least one of which takes 5m22s to finally
time out.  The next sugar-update-control (in git) has some fixes for
bad networking environments (dsd found another issue related to
squid).  I'll try to land them ASAP -- but they shouldn't block
testing of other features.
