Yeah, my reference to the "blanks update" probably didn't come
across quite the way I intended it to.  I don't blame David for
wanting to comment on that.

I was never particularly thrilled with the "blanks update" itself,
I just meant it as the most-extreme case of repo-bloat.  Whatever
you might think about the "blanks update", it's clear that the
freebsd project was not crushed by the bloat in the cvs repo.

My thought is that a change is either good or it's bad.  We would
not and should not avoid any GoodUpdate (tm) due to "repo-bloat".
