The best time for adding such a huge change is at the beginning of a release cycle - which is now. Adding a tag marking the initial commit might be a good idea, though. If Rembrandt breaks nearly all aircraft, maybe we should also split off aircraft from FGDATA before/not later than the start of Rembrandt? The aircraft rating system can hold a "Rembrandt-ready" label. Is there any chance to make Rembrandt switchable (on/off) at startup?
