my answer to the first is "if you want to..."
the patchkit will *not* be moved; we have our own maintenance scheme,
which you'll be seeing more of in probably 2 weeks.
basically, "cvs rdiff" is your friend...
=>We probably should reach a consensus about how our collective support

for support: there is currently a group of people "supporting"
NetBSD -- if you'd like to help out, get in touch... 8-)
=>Thus, I suggest we begin generating patch sets against that, and
=>encourage everyone to move over to NetBSD.
we plan to put out mostly-regular diff sets, and possibly regular
binary realeases, as well.
the diff sets will probably happen every two weeks or so,
the binary sets about every 2 months, or however often
we can convince some sucker to do them... 8-)
(i did this last one myself... and oh, do i ache... 8-)
