I don't know if you know it but setting up the project wiki page takes less time than reaching into depths of CVS and editing herds.xml. You just convinced me that we should definitely drop herds. Otherwise, we'll never going to get out of the dumb distinction what project and herd is and isn't, and when one or the other, or both should be used. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
