What could have been the compelling reason to exclude inbox in alpha
releases? I would assume inbox would be critical to receive a flood of
changesets during early stages of a release.
If this is an oversight and not a deliberate exclusion, what would be
the best way to restore the inbox repo?
* In Code - restore trunk and inbox in the initialize methods (being
critical to the operation of the image)?
* In global state - just upload an empty changeset with a postscript to
add it back?
