The problem I see is from the end-user perspective. They will upgrade to 10 and suddenly everything they developed stops working. I would suggest to start from the infrastructure side by getting more mirrors for the new system while phasing the mirrors for the old system out. Users are then not forced to make the sudden change. Please do not tell me that they should read UPDATING. They only will after they ran into trouble. Erich
