Besides the BSD issues, I think this is the perfect opportunity to both take care of all outstanding patches and upgrade the 2 repos' formats.
I agree that the backlog of outstanding patches should be reduced - but how was that handled in previous releases of xmonad? It seems to me, that right before a release is the last time where you would want to apply a considerable number of little-tested patches, isn't it? Isn't the idea to let development happen over a certain amount of time, then wait a little, let things settle and get the assurance that a fair number of users are running xmonad-darcs without problems before releasing it as a new stable version? Well, of course for those patches that are strictly bugfixes with limited scope it would be nice if they could be included in the release. Regards! Jan
