Yes.

Great, thanks.

I've merged minor-fixes to master as-is.  There is already $<LINKED>
history in master so it won't hurt.  There is now lots of history in
master for interface property approaches we're about to drop, but I
think that is fine because it records the progress of our thinking.

Please try to track down and remove any extra pieces like $<LINKED>
and <package>_NO_INTERFACES that we added in an attempt to deal with
the previous approach's problems.

Thanks,
