Thanks for following up on this. I never know
about posting to multiple mailing lists. That is
why i only sent the original to [email protected]
and asked people to come here to discuss. Also this
is where most of the previous discussion took place.

Never mind, it is good to have broader feedback.
I will gather the comments from those lists into
the draft proposal.

Of course, perhaps i should have used the generic acronym SCM.
Actually it was also deliberate, because Infrastructure
is encouraging projects to migrate to SVN.

Anyway yes, that item [B] represents whatever source control
that the project uses.

Thanks. Let us hope that it is a catalyst.
