  1. When do we want that to happen?
  
  - 11.10 Ensemble in Universe, problem,  ensemble is rapidly developing
  how to deal with updates.
  
  Ensemble can't be "frozen" past a stable release.  We need to deploy new
  features for the project to be successful.
  
  Two possible approaches:
  
  - Use a PPA (simpler, works well)
  - Do SRUs every month or so (much more heavy weight, apparently unnecessary)
  
  We'll probably be going with the second option.
  
- 
  2. What do we need to get done for this to happen?
  
  Needed dependencies:
  
  - txzookeeper (not packaged yet)
  - txaws (must be upgraded)
  - zookeeper (needs patches which were already pushed upstream)
  
- 
  3. Strategies for upgrading?
- 
  
  4. Etc.
  
  Sample interaction with Ensemble:
  
  $ ensemble bootstrap
  # Creates some files in ~/.ensemble/
  $ ensemble bootstrap
  # Creates the first instance of Ensemble on EC2
  $ ensemble deploy wordpress
  $ ensemble deploy mysql
  $ ensemble add-relation wordpress mysql
  
  This requires AWS credentials in the environment.
  
  The mysql instance can be reused across services.
