 It's in another diff. I provided this shorter one so we could concentrate
 on the meat of the update.

 I could go either way on this. I think it can be changed when the need
 arises.

 No particular reason other than copied from bpabbott's script.

 > While you are at it, I would try to be a bit more balanced with the
 recommendation to use the `+atlas` variant. While it may be true that the
 `+atlas` variant has fewer bugs (taking your word for it), the tradeoff
 that users make in exchange for the bug reduction is the commitment to
 spending a really long time building the atlas port. Personally I feel
 that this tradeoff is worth mentioning, but then again, I suppose that the
 notes are already long enough as it is...

 Yeah, agreed. I use +accelerate everywhere and haven't experienced any
 bugs yet.

 Any other comments? I had to remove the +jit because I couldn't get it to
 build and have run out of time on this.
