Sure. For the moment, we're focusing on getting the basic packages built. |

I think that sort of detail is a long way in the future for us. |

When we get there, I don't think it'll necessarily work best to |
| 21 |
strictly tie the release of seeds to the generic Gentoo release media. |
| 22 |
It would probably make sense for the seeds release schedules to also |
| 23 |
be influenced by their respective $UPSTREAMs. |

I don't think we need to worry about it too much until we've actually |
| 26 |
got working seeds that are stable enough to be considered for release. |
