OK, I read it with emphasis on "*editable* format", not on "must
publish", but this is another point that could be clarified by a new

I don't this is a problem either. The 5-year limit applies when one

You cannot log the changes in CVS and the unplugg the server one week

to provide the logs elsewhere)
