The email that I have from Steve just says "I've been a little lax in
updating these lately, 66 looks like my most recent one."

The only issue I know of is that occasionally the respin contains a
one-off fix that conflicts with development on the trunk.  That's an
issue for Teamware-based development, too.  

The answer might be to export the diffs to a text file, but not publish
the bundle, so that somebody doesn't accidentally contaminate their
Mercurial repository with the wrong changeset.
