What should be done about the packages that go with the MXE releases?
Was there any consensus about what versions to use for that?  Should we:

1) use the exact same versions released with 4.0.0 (unfair, why don't the
packages get a chance for fix their issues)

2) the package last patch release for the version released with 4.0.0 (but
most OF packages don't follow core in only accepting regression fixes in
those patch releases)

3) the last release of each package (not great if we want to extend the
backwards compatible promise to the packages in the MXE distribution)
