OMG, if you count votes then please don't change these (and .mt-attrs). 

This doesn't seem really crucial but is going to ruin many scripts (and
contribute to the perception that 'monotone changes too often').

Examples? Well:
 a) "checkout-crlf-copy" (monotone --rcfile=crlf.rc co ...; cp crlf.rc
target-dir/MT/monotonerc).
 b) "import dir as a revision" (cp -r working-copy/MT import-dir/;
monotone drop --missing; monotone add --unknown);

Not that these are hard to change but I think this has been copied all
over the place and will be pretty annoying to correct (especially when
scripts are part of the sources etc, etc.).

Just my 0.02.

Yury.
