For now, running an testing all packages in the migration overlay is the |
| 16 |
most pressing concern. Try to merge and use as many Java packages as |
| 17 |
you can, preferably with a few different JDKs, and also on a few |
| 18 |
different arches, if you have access to more than x86. |

If you see a few which clearly relate to migration, or if your |
| 23 |
curiousity gets the better of you, of course you can hack on those as |
| 24 |
well. The further away you stray from the migration project, the less |
| 25 |
likely it is that we'll be able to include your suggestions/fixes |
| 26 |
immediately. |
