Thus, anyone currently > relying on the base CVS has at least 3 years to plan their transition. One thing the project has been really *BAD* at is broadcasting this = information. They don't have 3 years to plan if the only record of this = decision is in email mailing lists. We need to have an UPDATING_MAJOR = to list the changes from the last major release that are user visible. = Otherwise they will have only "minutes" of warning when they install = 10.0. Warner
