It will break in rather subtle ways that you'll discover only later -  
we screwed up a few images before the fix.

To make overrides survive the condensing, install this fix first:

	http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=2514

It will keep all versions of overridden methods. This is not optimal,  
it would suffice to keep the most recent version for each overriding  
package back to the latest non-overridden version. But there are not  
too many overrides in the system so it doesn't matter much.

Very useful to see if the overrides are correct is this:

	http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=2727

It shows a method's category in its version history - without this  
it's almost impossible to fiddle with overrides, like removing an  
override without removing the original method.

To be sure everything went right, go over each and every MC package  
and make sure it does not have unsuspected changes (select the  
repository to compare to, press the "changes" button). If all  
packages were clean before, this should be easy to automate (yet  
another reason for having a clean base).
