Subtle point - should there be a required release to get to commons out 
of sandbox?  One issue we're discussing is that code shouldn't depend 
on sandbox code, as it's supposed to be just a 'play area'.  That said, 
having users is a great way to clean, refactor and evolve code, so if 
you can only get to commons from sandbox w/ a release, then we are 
imposing a bit of a chicken-egg problem, or just releasing for the sake 
of release, which I think is pointless.
