[Clip] New to Clip

[Aaron Prayther]

clip, puppet content and secstate.  I was under the impression that
current clip, puppet content would not be compatible with secstate.  I
never knew the details behind that though.

Well, we at least need a 5.5 version for things in progress and we've
done the work - so a release will likely happen. Hopefully we can then
do a 5.6.
