Re: Release of 1.0

Based on what we've been able to discover from logs of channel creation,
the problem isn't so much with multiple architectures as with the
combination of multiple architectures and multiple versions - i.e.
kernel-x.i[356]86 and kernel-y.i[356]86.  We've pretty much found where
the problem is occurring, now we've just got to figure out how to
correct it.  Hunter was going to work on it last night, but since he
hasn't appeared yet, I don't know what progress he made.
