Agreed on all counts. For what it is worth, my response was really geared with the mindset of having a cluster of machines to administer, where having the extra (sometimes unnecessary) dependencies of svn are not ideal and/or can conflict with other software. As mentioned in today's earlier announcement for 9.1-RC2, however, CVS backporting from SVN will continue to be done for the stable/9 branch. Hopefully that buys some time for svnup to become reality. Glen
