Hi Tony, the CVS tags are already in place, at least those that correspond to a release. You will see them when you browse the repository.
I absolutely agree with the rest of your email. About easy upgrades: Well, the latest changes will cause some work for previous users of AndroMDA and UML2EJB. The new stereotypes will have to be brought into the old models. But: I can't help it, we have to go in that direction to make AndroMDA really shine! Cheers...
