I've never envisioned update-setup as a product. I don't want to be in
the position of maintaining YA package.
You have a copy of the program and you can update it as you see fit. I
don't think it's necessary to make it generally available and, in fact,
it *isn't* generally available.
So, grab it, hack on it, share it with your friends. I don't care.
I am just not interested in bug reports on it right now.
