Aren't you pessimistic? I can think of many people we're pretty screwed without -- it's not an uncommon worry for the project, but far less of a problem for us than for you as an individual :P I'll have a look around to see how feasable this is, but unfortunately since the size issue you've pointed out may be a problem I think we may have to kiss CTM goodbye once cvs goes...
