I think it would be good to define the "freeze dateline" and the "release
date" soon.

Do you have any plans to check this? I just upgraded my bo system to hamm
and ran into problems with a few packages which tried to overwrite some
files.
I suggest to write a Perl script to check for duplicate files in the whole
archive. Unless someone else wrote such a script I would volunteer.
Thanks,
Chris
