I have said everything I could about the bad effects of encouraging people to continue to use cvsps-2.x, it didn't budge Junio an inch, and I'm tired of fighting about it. Quibbling about the semantics of 'impose' will neither change these facts nor make me any less frustrated with the outcome.

I will continue to do what I can to make cvsps-3.x and cvs-fast-export as bug-free as possible, given the innate perverseness of CVS. They won't be perfect; they will be *better*.
