Well, not one, because it's still two different update streams. But I  
forgot an arrow to point out that all changes up to 3.8b are in  
3.9a-unstable. See below.

Yes, that was the 6327-unstable update. Andreas made it so that those  
folks sitting on the unstable stream could continue to use their  
images. So complaining helps, sometimes ;-)

Both normal and unstable update streams for 3.9a are in your hands  
again. You decide how to use them. At the moment they should be  
identical. I think it would be a good idea to push new updates  
(starting at #6405) into 39a-unstable and quickly copy them over to the  
main 39a stream, to avoid the huge discrepancies we had in 3.8.

Ok, then here's another 20K. Spot the difference ;-)
