Based on the discussion so far, I think it's agreed that we'd like you to serve this bridging role through the release of 3.4; that would be great.  The updates that you publish would be a combination of:

1. Updates that you & SqC decide to include, which you can quickly run by the Guides before including

2. Fileouts that we Guides agree should be included (items that we harvest, etc.), and that we send to you

Does that sound right?

Sounds good.  I guess we will look for this information as we approach the 3.4 release.
