It's been pointed out to me that my previous approval of Guus messages
to "dev@ccvs.cvshome.org" was incorrect and inconsistent with the list
charter which is on-line at:

        https://ccvs.cvshome.org/source/browse/ccvs/DEVEL-CVS?rev=1

Although Guus' subject matter may be appropriate, the charter states
"Only those with checkin access may send messages to the list."

To avoid excessive disruption with current topics I will continue approving
messages on the following threads:

        Re: FAQ-O-Matic pserver protocol
        Re: Changing passwords for CVS Users (pserver protocol)

for another 24 hours.  After that I will reject messages not consistent
with the list charter.

There will be no change to the list moderation schedule of twice per
day which occur at no particular time and are not guaranteed.

Best regards,

Conrad Pino
