I have no objections whatsoever. Thanks for the great work and the lots of effort you have put into this, Mark :-)

This way it is possible to state "XYZ is broken atm and needs to be converted" and the stuff already converted can be tested in a nice manner. I know that UTBS would not work if this happens but at least the already converted content gets testing. I think atm there are not many users for the terrain branch itself. Here are the benefits I see that stand in favor if a direct merge: - More people testing the already converted content. - Easier to stay in sync, as in little changes to campaigns and such are not this likely to cause problems. There would only be a freeze for some days per campaign/folder/whatever be needed. This is easier to enforce than a freeze for many weeks for almost all of the content. - It is trunk, we really are expected to break it every now and then... Problems with a direct merge: - Some stuff will definatly not work (UTBS). Since that is know a list could be posted with stuff known not to work yet and a request to test the rest for a moment. - Due to broken stuff some bug reports might appear though I think most people using trunk are also subscribed to this ml or read the forum so I don't think this is a real problem. If it is: I am good at closing any stuff. ;) Does anyone have other reasons to wait with the merge? Anyone agreeing with me that it should be done now? I would really welcome that merge to happen ASAP so that the engine gets as much testing from anyone as possible. As long as it is in an extra branch I think there are not many people testing it...
