Who is using CVS? Cannot we just remove support for CVS? We are 
needlessly investing time in keeping all the different repositories in 
sync (who is actually doing it?) As far as I understand Tim releases 
axiom--main--1-patch-??, calls that Gold and then transfers the code to 
the two CVS repositories on Savannah and SF. So there are 3 ways to get 
GOLD.

No, I would only call axiom--main--1 as Gold. Click on Sources on the 
frontpage. Until now nobody has complained about the page that I have 
created so I think we should stick to it (until somebody is bold). ;-)

No. BTW, why cannot axiom--windows--1 be merged with axiom--main--1? Is 
it so different?
