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.
