As you've no doubt heard, when v0.1a was shipped we forgot the 000-byzantium.xzm file containing all of the Byzantium-specific systemware. This means that we shipped without anything we did, just a null respin of Porteus.

This. Cannot. Happen. Again.

Yes, I screwed up. Badly. I remastered the .iso image, so the ball was in my court, and I've got a double helping of crow on my plate tonight.

However, when I ask (sometimes beg) people to check my work (especially before a release), there's a good reason for it - to keep things like this from happening.

Therefore, I propose that prior to ANY release of any kind, at least one other person actually tests or looks over (depending on what the release is) the product to make sure that it has what it's supposed to and will do what we want it to. We can't have this happen ever again.
