Grrrrr...no, I wouldn't find a reason to not be "extra-cautious". But
I'm probably not going to convince you of that.

So is immediate breakage.

RELNOTESng is broken for RELENG_4. I would have warned you about the
possibility of this, if you'd bothered to ask first.

(Bruce starts wondering why he bothered to get a haircut this weekend,
because he's starting to pull his hair out now. In chunks.)
Arrrrgh. Look, Andrey, *I'm* the person who designed RELNOTESng, and
this is the first *I've* heard of it! :-(
I'd go on, but I'm remembering a (good) rule about not fighting with
other committers in public. I'll invoke this on myself now.
It looks like the easiest way out of this will be to follow your new
names policy on the RELENG_4 branch (at least for doc/ and src/release/
doc/). This will involve a repo-copy at the least, but I've never seen
a repo-copy done for files on a branch. Please *don't* do this. Let
*me* first do some *testing* first, and then ask for the repo-copy
myself when I'm satisfied that it will work. Also before doing this I
want to find out if nik wants to take any other actions for doc/, in
case there are changes that might need to be coordinated.
Bruce.
