ok, have updated the testboxes to your latest push.

Btw., otherwise the big networking pull held up pretty well on a healthy 
range of testboxes i have, it looked a lot scarier to me in the morning 
than it turned out to be during the day. A couple of hundred tests 
passed already and no indication of any runtime fragility so far. Boot 
crashes/warnings can be annoying and hard to get a proper log of but 
once the log is available they are normally quite easy for developers to 
act upon.
