Are you proposing that what is currently v2.2.0 test builds be released as
v3?

I think that we already have them in the MAIN branch.  If not, we should.
Steve is running James with them under Merlin, although we still still want
to release with Phoenix for at least another set of releases, even if we
support Merlin as well.

I would like to defer the Mailet API changes in the MAIN branch,
particularly the ones exposing repositories.  After we the next Release, we
can look at changes, including <mailet> configuration.

Since I was making them in parallel for quite some time, I believe that at
this tome, such discrepancies are limited (a) improvements in v2 not yet in
MAIN, (b) changes in MAIN that reflect Avalon changes.  If anyone knows of
anything else, please speak up.

And, yes, it is just grunt work.  What I would do (if I were doing it) would
be to run a visual diff for each file from v2 and MAIN, find those
differences, copy over into v2 the ones that we need, tag MAIN, and then
merge the v2 code into MAIN.  We'd end up using the MAIN build process,
which should actually be the nicer one (after all the work Stephen and Leo
did), with the v2 code updated for current Avalon.
