Bert,

Here's the idea:

  (f10/olpc4)    (f9/olpc3)
       |             |
       v             v
    joyride       staging
       |             |
       v             v
    (9.1.0)        8.2.1
          \             \ available now.
           \ will be created eventually

(This is the first time we've had two active integration streams.)

Does this help clarify things?
