That's exciting to hear!  And yes, I think I understand *exactly* where you
are coming from.  My employer (CollabNet) hosts Subversion and CVS
repositories for hundreds of companies -- tens of thousands of projects, and
over a million users -- and we deploy ViewVC to them, too.  The suspicion
that I have that you might be over-engineering a solution for a problem that
doesn't really exist is based on nearly six years of direct experience in
supporting CollabNet's version control users as the primary maintainer of
the ViewVC integration with our enterprise product.  That said, if you're
getting feedback from *your* users that they need these changes, by all
means listen to them!
