DOH!

Of course not. :-) What I wanted to say was that the beta releases would work 
with 
the R5 kernel (and not necessarily all of them). I forsee something like what 
happened with BONE - 
betas of new kernels coming out, bundled with the pieces that are inextricably 
tied to it. BONE came
with BoneYard, for example, and should have come with a new printing kit. Our 
kernel might
well come with a new IK, since the old IK was joined unnaturally to the old 
kernel.
