i agree.  i found it disconcerting that it was checked into the FC-1,
and that is why i pointed it out...

i would like for someone at redhat to clarify their use of the EOL'd
trees.  how do they use them now?  how do they intend to use the in the
future?  would they be able/willing to coordinate check-ins on EOL'd
trees with the fedora legacy project?

ps- cc'd the redhat person who announced the cvs tree in the hopes of
getting some info about redhat's process/policy on EOL'd trees
