Could such a measure be announced 24 to 48 hours in advance, and ideally be
complemented by a script that can be used for renaming the files on the local

Otherwise folks like me will have to refetch about 110 Megabytes of */binary/*
stuff. Not that much fun over a phone line. Some people even have to pay for
every bytes they get through their phone.
