That's bad. I was aware that the CVS tree was kicked off (and i can live with that, as long as the release-source keeps beeing included.) But loosing the distfiles is just plain bad. This saved me so much download time. I hope they will be back on one of the next releases. CU, Sec -- Whatever the virtues of balance, it's just a pleasant form of insanity.
