Ewald, Thanks for the feedback. :-) I thought about your suggestion, and I agree that some of the older content could be removed. It is available from our files area [1], so the content in the devel tree on the shell server is redundant. However, your suggestion is harder to use as a policy. I believe there are differing opinions as to what current means for a kernel. Am I mistaken? Developers can always place expanded kernels in their personal tree [2] in our cvs repository. Binary files should download properly from ViewCVS provided the -kb sticky tags are set. So, single module downloads would still be possible.
