Comment(by rossp):

 My FWT vote is +1.

 I would like to see some thought put in to try and anticipate some of
 the different packaging/OS issues that might surprise
 users/integrators in ways they might not be accustomed to
 troubleshooting.  For example, might some users with non-installer
 buildouts have a OS python package installed for 2.4 but not for 2.5
 or 2.6.  Some might then get confused when just re-bootstrapping their
 with the new python and re-running the buildout doesn't work.  I'm
 sure we'll discover other, similar cases and putting a little effort
 into a "If foo happens, check bar and try qux" FAQ could yield
 significant value in terms of user perceptions and experience.
