Well, I see no other reason to create a ARDB release than the new set. 
Those of us coming to the project are really to unfamiliar with the code to 
hope for more than that.  Given that, I'd like to make sure we work hard to 
"fix what LSJ breaks."  Given the code is self-expanding for disciplines 
and clans (thank you Francois), we *should* have little work to do.  Well, 
we can hope.
