I was planning on either pulling down the 1.7.4 release, or applying
Pat's patch to 1.7.5 (leaning towards the former as it's relatively
proven and 1.7.5 may have additional bugs.)

If I end up taking advantage of this situation and continue forking
Paramiko, I'll have to start thinking about synchronizing with their
SVN or the Github mirror Robey seems to maintain.

Taking a look at 0.9-doc-rewrite's Sphinx docs would help, as it's
close to done and will merge prior to release. Mostly looking for
"you're still not covering X" or "section Y has zero code examples and
could use one" sorts of things. I still have to wrap up two of the
usage doc files (should be obvious which) and rewrite the tutorial (as
something shorter/more coherent than the current one) but that's it.

Got a link? :) Poked around the recent archives and nothing jumped out
at me besides that zlib stuff.

Is this related at all to what Jesse Noller is doing / was doing was
talking about doing? I know he's using Fab or at least evaluating it,
and I can't remember if that was related to his own buildbot stuff :)
Just curious.

Not yet, but I've been planning to once I go back to expanding the
test suite (it's still just a toolchain POC really.) I've seen
testdaemon, pony-build, Hudson and a few other names in my travels; a
code.fabfile.org ticket enumerating the options would be a good idea.
