I would welcome this. We should position the CVS work as a test pilot
environment, with an explicit recognition of Ian as the only official
source release, and a commitment to provide all useful changes back to
Ian for possible inclusion in the official releases. 

I think that as long as we are clear on these points, we can provide
valuable support for Ian's main work, and also maintain an environment
where we can hack the Unix code in a more organized and responsive way.
