As I wrote to Mark in private mail, I felt the need to remove the
binaries as soon as possible in order to minimize the window in which
people would end up getting them in their trees.  The more such people
there are, the longer we have to leave the files in the Attic before
obliterating them from the repository.

It was a decision that I made personally, in my role as one of the
co-managers of the CVS repository.

You know, Julian, I hope not too many more days will go by before
you get over this need you seem to have to utter a jab at the core
team in every mail you send out.  I can't see that it adds anything
to the discussion.
