Hey Allison,

I sent a message to the list about a week or two ago about /opt not
being a requirement on this cycle of the ARB because of the current
system doesnt exactly support it and since Quickly which is one of the
things we would prefer application developers to use isnt using /opt
either. Since no one else commented on the list about it I just presumed
that pushing the requirement to 11.04 was all good.
