I am just trying to understand the implications of not doing part 3 right
away. It sounds like part 3 makes it a better architecture, but with
steps 1 and 2 in place, the problem is essentially solved. I just wanted
to make sure that steps 1 and 2 are not just "infrastructure" where the
problem is not fixed until step 3, which sounds like it is being deferred
to svn 1.3.

Thanks
