It's not just the version number. SOHO 5.1 packages won't install
(unless forced) on Standard 5.1 due to dependencies. In recent talks
we seem to have agreed that the way to go for 6.0 is to get a common
base going (similar to the Dynamite concept, before it became a
distro, lol). Standard and SOHO would build on this base in parallel.
If this base is used to build the common packages, this problem goes
away. We need to think carefully of packages that require more than
the base deps though.

Isn't that a very fine line between those 2? Or am I missing something
here? (prolly am, lol).
