Some cool outcomes this week are now in play, = (subversion-static port, svnup activity, etc=85) However, cvsup for src still does not have an end-of-life date, (though = obviously deprecated). Please feel to make edits (esp. if you are a committer and know = something I don't!), or email me with corrections and I'll put them in! = (I'm trying to capture the clear bits from all the lack of clarity on = the topic).
