One way of doing this could be to stop cvsup access for -current. Yup - if you want to track -current, you track the cvs repository. If you don't need the cvs repository, you're not developing code, and thus shouldn't be in -current. I'm not sure if this is too drastic, but we really should be shooting off those people... Eivind.
