Hi all,

Let's assume for the moment, that NewCo does it right, and there is no
reason to assume they won't.

They will therefore have a system such as CVS, and everybody in the
community who is involved will have access to this. Therefore there is
no reason for the community to duplicate the work.

What we should be doing with this discussion, is putting pressure on
NewCo to choose the system we select as the most appropriate. We should
_not_ be assuming that NewCo will do their own (incorrect)thing, and the
community will be doing our own (correct) thing.

If NewCo does it wrong, however....
