Agreed

1. IIRC "ion3-plus-darcs.tar.bz2 found in the #ion topic" is a lazy copy,
meaning it has incomplete history

2. ion3plus-source.tar posted by 'milimouse' has only 57 pathces in
_darcs/patches so it's safe(?) to say this is an incomplete copy.
Looking at 'darcs changes' it seems this repo is missing a few patches compared
to 3.

3. I'm quite sure my copy at http://folk.ntnu.no/bronner/temp/ion3/repos.tgz
should be somewhat complete.
At least back to the license change. (I've tried to roll it back to that state)
Looking in _darcs/patches it has what apear to be (non-zero sized) patches from
2002.

4. notion-20100409.tar.gz: Comparing RELNOTES, this has one entry more compared
to 3:
> ion-3-20090110
> --------------

> This is yet another maintenance release.

The plus repo (3) has lots of changes since the last entry in it's RELNOTES
though.
