Allow olpc-update-query to optionally ignore OATS signature (off by default) (trivial) (pushed to git, but needs os-builder counterpart)
Factor out Sugar activity update into some kind of Sugar shell helper process
Shell helper would try hard to update activities automatically after an upgrade (in the background?) (off by default in Sugar, on by default in OLPC builds)
- bitfrost's urlrange would be adapted for use here
- Would also support the additional microformat headers added in dextrose to keep people happy?
- (nice to have) Adapt Sugar's activity install code to use python zip classes instead of "unzip", then we can only download parts of the activity that changed during an update
Shell helper sends dbus messages to shell after updating an activity (if needed, maybe the Shell watching the filesystem is enough)
Drop "Your activities need updating" on-upgrade-message from Sugar (will be a pain to port to GTK3 anyway)
(nice to have) olpc-update could handle "out of disk space" issues by deleting activities that are available on the school server before starting the update

Multiple update streams in oatslite (to allow for a mixture of laptop models over a whole deployment)
Multiple activity update streams in xs-activity-server (to allow for a mix of software versions running in the same school)

Move to PulseAudio on all 3 laptops.
