Sounds fine to me except #3 - I don't understand it (and I probably some users will too). Can you explain it please? Also, since you mentioned SVN move - should we make an announcement about SVN move first (or combine it with ABS newsitem)? *shrugs* (probably this had to be done (as Andy mentioned) as soon as we've made CVS read-only, but oh well). P.S.: now (after abs signoff) csup can be removed from Core, I think. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
