I think my email filters only support confindence :-)  But to make this 
clear, these are all suggestions which help me to process changes faster - 
nothing that is cast in stone.

>What about updates of [ENH] changesets?

No problem, just write down the requirement in the email and the change 
set's preamble.

Yes.

No, it is to convince all that too-helpful email tools that .cs files are 
binaries.  Otherwise, they convert tabs, line endings and so one, 
reformatting the files and cause additional work.

>Isn't it work for you to unpack the gzipped files?

Squeak is capable to do this :-)  This is why I suggested .gz instead of .zip

Just a suggestion, I don't speak for the list.  Perhaps larger files are 
accepted, too...
