Not the only reason. PARENT_* is used as the database against which you do protocmp checks, and where you put packages, BFU archives, proto areas, etc, if you enable the -u and -U options. The advent of mercurial actually means it's even more necessary to split the PARENT_* vars from the BRINGOVER_* vars. Danek
