The Stable Hybrid Release (SHR) is intended to be a combination of the

be based on an ASU build, with the FSO software and GTK end-user apps

added.

The SHR doesn't exist anywhere but in a few people's heads at the moment (2008-07-05).  Hopefully, all the work in it will be integrated back into one of the other releases, and it will cease to exist.  The point is to get us a release with stable calls & suspend/resume, plus access to all those other nifty apps we had on 2007.2 and the ASU.
