This is still rough, but I think we have a pretty good idea what
will and what won't be in v1.5.0 by now, and end-of-year is a
good slow time to summarize what we have done.

Could somebody please summarize how to "upgrade" a repository to the new

various repos I've got here just to take advantage of the changes.

Thanks!
