I've merged a patch that should work.  It isn't currently practical for me 
to test it, but troubleshooting should be easy once we have a live use case.

Go right ahead.

2) As I said above, the code is integrated and ready for testing.  It may
just work; if not, troubleshooting should be easy once the giot repo is live.

3) is done.  Months ago now.

I do not know of any blockers for the cutover.  I have a not4 that says

* Work with hydra-users mailing list to update hydra build config.

but I don't recall what hydra is.  There are no other work items that
cannot obviously wait until post-transition.
