Yes, it is a good way. But we know that we will have binary incompatible
changes for 2.2 final (like sunrpc/IPv6). And here the problem starts:
Tell the people that they can delete everything the build. They will
claim that we have to make binary compatible beta versions and will
not accept this. We had this already.

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
