My problem is that I actually run my snapshots for a while before
releasing them to make sure they don't totally destroy people's
machines, and right now I'm running UVM. Backing out would be painful
because the userlands differ. (Indeed, you need a different userland
for UVM *and* PMAP_NEW, too!)

Given this, I'm only really in a position to produce UVM snapshots. I
was going to do a new one in about two weeks (once the rubble finished
bouncing).

That is one reason I intend to wait a little while longer.
