As the Express builds were described as "previews" (albeit fully-functional ones), I thought that they might at some point be abandoned in terms of support. I didn't know the difference between SS and SSEx in terms of licensing. Thanks for clarifying this.

I'm a newcomer to (open)solarius, and a bit clueless as to the "old" (versus new?) package format (thought there was just a single format).
