4 I've been wondering lately with the discussion of yet more new
5 categories, why don't we do repocopies to move packages? Note that I'm
6 talking about packages switching categories and explicitly _not_ about
7 package name changes.

9 Although this would require a request to someone with shell access to
10 the CVS box, it would preserve all the history of the moved packages.
11 The loss of history is (IMO) the _primary_ problem of moving packages.

13 Thanks,
