No we have to think about GUB and the fact that 12.04 is still in
beta. I think as has been suggested by Graham that we'll do another
round on 10.04 with LilyDev 2.5 and then once 12.04 has bedded in a
bit then move. I need also to make sure that remastersys (which is
what we use to build the ISO) works on 12.04 - I haven't tried that
yet.

No, you understand that that was the only thing I could think to type
for a terminal at that moment :)
