Testing. I did the upgrande (and downgraded back to Dapper) just
because I wanted to see if there was anything worth checking.
Currently Edgy is just a single update to Dapper and not worth the
effort. But I got several errors on boot-up and I'll report them back.
This will make sure developers are aware of the current state and can
fix it earlier, preventing big headaches in the future.
