Well, this is actually the main problem. I have tried hard to make clear
that the CVS is not trying to split from pd, but it is trying to help
and coordinate the different improvment efforts.

The problem is not the bandwith or server space, its a political one, and
the last thing that I want to happen is that pd gets split.

Finally, I do not know how Miller thinks about all of this.

So, chances that anything will change are slim :(
