Hi Matthew -

Can you say a little more about the anticipated workflow with 
DeltaStreams? I love what I see so far (it mostly looks like a version 
of change sets for the 21st century ;-) but it is unclear to me how this 
integrates into the larger picture, with Monticello, images, versions etc.

Any insights are greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
   - Andreas
