My apologies, folks -- due to an unobservant administrator (yours truly)
the bitkeeper-announce list has seen a fair amount of discussion in the
last week.  I'm making changes to ensure this doesn't happen again.
bitkeeper-announce is intended as a low-volume list for BitMover to
announce significant events, including all public releases.  Discussion
(such as the thread I'm replying to) belongs on bitkeeper-users.

If you'd like to subscribe to bitkeeper-users, visit this URL:

My apologies for the noise.  Now, back to your regularly scheduled
silence.

(The problem:  I get notified of messages that hit Mailman's filters and
are held for approval.  There is little to distinguish a
bitkeeper-announce post (that was held because it's a moderated list)
from a bitkeeper-users post that was held because the poster wasn't a
subscriber.  So I approved the -announce posts on half-autopilot,
thinking they were -users posts, because they were on-topic.)
