By reading this i got an impression that i should expect in the future 
one day that CVS HEAD is completely re-written, all parts that you think 
are
unnecessary or not correspond to your requirements are removed. And this 
can happen even without warning. Looks like you have big plans for all 
parts already. You should have asked us before removing parts that are 
in the source for several months already.

I would suggest for all of us to define how we do development and 
respect each others rights and ability to extend server.
