A follow up to this conversation: we decided *not* to make big changes 
to flickr, feeds, or any other example parcel for 0.6.1. When Ted 
investigated this more closely, it would have required pulling in enough 
changes that it would risk the stability of 0.6.1.

As Ted mentioned, PyCon sprinters will have the choice of using 0.6.1 
(more stable & documentation matches), or going with the "bleeding edge" 
and working off the trunk. Sprinting "coaches" need to be aware that the 
code is different on the trunk and on the 0.6.1 branch.

Cheers,
