[Sugar-devel] [SoaS] SoaS 4 - Mango Lassi is out.

This is the same issue I've raised twice before - with no response. I've 
copied Luke Macken, creator of LiveUSB Creator, as well.

The problem is what has been keeping me from testing my activities with 0.90 
SoaS.

Can anything be done about this?
