I don't see sections "Science/Data Analysis" or "Science/Physics" in
your list of new fields at that message. Could you please include them
as valid fields if they weren't already going to be?
Should I be pro-active and change "Apps/Science" to "Science/Physics" in
my physics-related doc-base files with my next uploads to unstable, or
would it be better to wait a bit more?
best regards,
