Agreed, the names might be a bit confusing.  If you mentally think
s/Independent/Sponsored/, then they should make a lot more sense.  (I
think this renaming for DC10 would make sense, but forking from past
years even more is not good either...)

Yes, I think this won't work since it's after the deadline.  I have
been prodding[0] people to come to a decision about how to handle it,
but it hasn't happened yet.  You will (hopefully) get an email asking
if you would like to be changed, and we'll do it for you.

Thanks,
