State of Update.1 on the night of Mar. 18, 2008

[Michael Stone]

Folks,

I went through the bugs Scott mentioned in his previous "State of
Update.1" mail and looked for status changes. I also surveyed the Trac
Timeline looking for new gems. To make a long story short, no one has
_reported_ changes to any of these bugs in the past 5 days.

but I can't tell from the resolution comments whether anyone actually
tested the build.
