This I could live with, but there has to be some indication
this is temporary, and indeed, there should be a time table for the
/usr/doc move (partial, and tentative it may be, but a timetable
nevertheless).
Dale> 3. Roll back to FSSTD for /usr/doc ONLY!
The only difference between this and the previous propsal is
the removal of 2B, correct? I like this less than 2 above.

I strongly object to this one.

I have just put forth an amendment to Ians proposal 4 to make
in more in line with 2 (freeze now)
Dale> Do we need to discuss the relative merits of any of these?
If we all voiced our opinions and rationale for each of the
proposals (a one liner would do), I would feel better. No discussion
beyond the first mail from all of us need occur.
