     As most of us know, it would be unusual for updates of beta work to 
appear in the NCC channels. Even when we want to check those channels 
before product release they are almost never ready for that. However, it 
would be a good thing if a secure channel were present to do quick 
updates as a product progresses, versus doing an entire reinstall every 
week or two. The awkward part would be ensuring the channels actually 
work with our SMT installations (meaning updates appear under the 
correct account for that).
     On the tone of things, I rather enjoy what we have now, direct but 
still polite. We make progress more quickly that way.
