type-annotations can continue to be a play area for low-overhead 
changesets. It is up to anyone creating changesets to decide whether 
they should be targeted to type-annotations or tl; since I am likely to 
be the one to push bits up, my preference is that is that changsets 
should go to tl directly, unless there is a good reason to stage them 
through type-annotations.
