Should we just move to the latest git?  I don't mind tracking git during 
development provided that we land on a stable release by the time we 
release.

It just requires someone to do a little smoke testing on the particular 
git snapshots to make sure things aren't horribly regressing.

Sounds good to me.

I often run guests with latest seabios git, not sure it can count as
smoke testing. But since we will do it in development tree only, if
something breaks we will fix it. That is what development tree is for :)
Better to catch breakage earlier than later.
