Just some thoughts:
Some advantages of picking the earliest version are that it is probably the
easiest and best understood. Also, as it is rolled forward, perhaps some
modules do not have to go away, eg. HP-IB.
We'll need a large group of beta testers too. So let's pick one that has a
lot of users.
