Comment (by carter):

 I'm not sure how much headway I'll make between now and the weekend, what
 pieces of this plan are / are not obvious?
 One issue that came up  in the IRC chat with Duncan is cabal new build
 style needs treatment too?

 What are the low hanging action items , the easy ones, and the tricky
 bits?

 I have Sierra hardware now,  so there's that

 At the very least I'll make sure I file a radar this week
