Hey Bobby, That's correct, I mean the "packages" directories in common, hdfs, and MR top-level directories, which contain the debs and RPMs. I'm not opposed to someone re-working/contributing new code as long as they're maintained. Don't think there's any sense in keeping the branch-1 code in trunk/branch-2 since it doesn't support the same daemons, isn't maintained etc.
