Yes, writing "etc" does make it look more elegant :-)

I agree that major releases occur at a slow enough rhythm for us to
keep up (that's even a euphemism). I was just expecting you to be as
much of a control-freak as I am...

AFAIK, a robots.txt has to be at the root of the public http
directory. However, it has the downside you mentioned: it would
require Jan and Han-Wen to take care of it.
