Upate 6680

[Daniel Vainsencher]

Hi everyone. Just thought I'd let you know that I'm working on making 
the Traits stuff more friendly. This means among things that the 
packages shouldn't conflict with existing packages.

To this purpose, I intend to work against a 3.9 image, since that is all 
partitioned up. So an image that we are pretty sure will be the real 
basis for 3.9 would be useful.

I'm also in the process of writing a tool that's meant to make it easier 
to find and get rid of method overrides between packages.
