Have you tested that a load of a package containing some large class not
currently in your image loads with correct organization? (VMMaker is ideal).

Ours is derived from Monticello-avi.275.  Checking differences is tedious
because we've mapped _ to :=.  But I see that Monticello-avi.277 doesn't
allow the active repo to be switched mid commit, which is a fix I want
(thanks Avi!).  So once Ive merged I'll root around and try and give you a
better answer.
