Well, given that all the client and plugin code both needs to be
explicitly ported from 0.10 to 1.0, I don't see the problem tbh.  And
it is explicitly designed to be parallel-installable out of the box,
so yeah, my recipes allow for that.

I'm only passing through quickly today, but will share them when I get back.

Cheers,
