Excellent.

What about Monticello15?  Is that a non-reversible load?

Also, what is the deal with the "Monticello bootstrap" entry?  Is that
code that should be included in the base of 3.10, or what?  For that
matter, is 1.5 really something that should be an independent package,
or is it mature enough to make the standard version for 3.10 ?

All of this needs to be sorted out for the 3.10 release.  It will be a
real mess if some packages require one version of Monticello while
others require a different, incompatible version of it.


It would be great if someone were to do some actual testing so we
could see where we are.  It would be very helpful to know how many of
the development-universe packages are loadable under each of the four
different Monticello options.
