Software taking longer than expected!  :)

So it seems like our choices now are: wait until it gets to the front
of the Launchpad queue, which may be a very long time, or do it in the
Bazaar team.

Doing it in Bazaar will reduce the rate at which we do general Bazaar
work, and the rate at which we can fix package-importer failures.  But
it doesn't look impossibly big, and if we get reasonable help from
Launchpad developers during development and landing we can probably do
it.

I'd like to see it happen.  How do UDD community members feel about
this vs bug fixing and import reliability?
