This would be a good sentiment if the setup snapshots on that page were
recent enough to warrant testing.  However, before we can start the above
crusade, we have to embark on a crusade for getting a more recent setup
snapshot out.  Max or Brian, would it be possible to produce one and post
it to setup/snapshots?  It's been overdue for a while (2.529 is 5 months
old).
