Congratulations!  WooHoo!  Now to tear into it! :)

Is there no way to create a step release?  A 1.3 with a smaller 
footprint...  The reason I ask is that I have over 100 firewalls to 
upgrade remotely!  I know 1.3b7 is fairly stable, but that "b" is still 
a bit scary... And I am trying to think how I can write upgrade 
documentation that will be approved by the PHBs with a "b" in them... :-)
