Considering that the first release we do will be very, very similar to
Mandriva, I don't think this is any more ambitious than say a 2010.0 ->
2010.1 upgrade.

If packaging and names etc. diverges , then yes, the problem becomes
bigger, but rather than something we introduce over time, it's actually
very likely the opposite that will be easier. e.g. migrating from Mdv
2010.1 -> Mga v1 will likely be trivial, but come a year from now,
Upgrading Mdv 2011.1 -> Mga v3 could be more problematic!
