The truth for me is that Ac wasn't released yet because most of us are 
developing it in our free time, but thats a different story and OT :)

Probably not.

Same here.

I don't have list of missing packages or list of missing obsoletes, but 
few times I wasn't able to find substitute for some packages. That was a 
looong time ago, though. I remember at least mirrordir and cvs-admin, 
but I think its good those two are gone :)

It isn't hard at all, its just time consuming ;) However I like to sit 
in server room at night. Noone is bothering me, no phones, no users, 
loud music, pizza... ;)

One builder set per transition then? But I don't think we will start 
developing ie. gcc 5.5 before finishing 5.0. It would be just waste of 
resources.

ROTFL! Thats a good one :)
