Unless I've missed something, I've not heard back from anyone indicating significant issues that would warrant not taking the first step in this plan (I'm aware astropy may have some problems, but that's it). My plan is to ask the release team for a transition tracker and start the first part of this in Unstable once they've agreed. If anyone thinks this is premature, please let me know. Scott K
