        The problem is - we will need an identical hierarchy to that in   
/pub/GNOME, and having an identical hirearcy based off a sub-part of
another hierarchy sounds like confusion and mess to me :-)

        /pub/GNOME/unstable/latest/gnome2/unstable/latest/sources ?
        /pub/GNOME/unstable/latest/gnome2/unstable/sources/linc ?
        /pub/GNOME/unstable/latest/gnome2/unstable/source/ORBit ?  
  
        etc. - looks like a mess to me; Martin has renamed /pub/gnome2 to
/pub/pre-gnome2 due to the horrible ignorance of the slashdot masses, and
to avoid bad press. That seems fine to me for now.
  
        Regards,
  
                Michael.
