Right. Actually it was DJ tsunami's plugin, but im sure Wozers has the
same effect.

Your post also reminded me, for any of these plugin users out there,
that even manually setting mp_respawnwavetime to 10 instead of the
default 10.0 will still give you the repawntimes sv_tag. Handy if you
want to leave the cvar value alone and let the plugin to do the work,
but still want to comply with policy.
