The releases are just snapshots taken with "cp -pr", they are frozen 
forever.  Any newer release comes as another snapshot from the current 
brach (another cp -pr).,  So there is only one live thing being working 
on which is the JPP-5 branch.

No, but in theory we should have most of what is needed to rebuild 
everything already in JPP 5.0, as we have cut the umbilical cord with 
JPP 1.7 a long time ago.  But as we never did the mass rebuild, there 
can be still a few ones that we need to bring in.
