This would certainly be the most straightforward approach, but I don't
want to be messing with things while people are using release 2.
They'll come in in the morning and X won't start properly for them.
Besides making transition more painless, release 3 from MIT runs much
slower on some of our RTs than release 2 from IBM (probably paging
a lot more).  I'm not sure yet I want to take away people's option
of using release 2 for this reason.
