Where?  I see no complexity here.  Anyone who used CVS before Kingdon's
unilateral change had already bought into the notion that CVS detected
conflict markers and kindly prevented you from cheking them in.

Money can and will buy you carantees here in the open source world, but
of course only private guarantees.  There's no way you can force the
community to follow.....

BTW, that message went to you personally, not the list, and it had an
explict reply-to pointing back at me personally.  I'm very very careful
to always set the reply-to as I expect it to be used.  I'd appreciate it
if you could similarly be more careful when you reply in the future!
