Ahh, I read it incorrectly, you're right. If there was a change in the
read-only CVS access, it was not announced. The problem with using the CVS
as the most up-to-date version of a document is that it often has articles
that are not yet ready for publication because they have technical errors
in them. My ACPI is a prime example. I will often keep a working draft in
the CVS in case I lose my local version. The working draft is definitely
NOT ready to be read by others though.
Perhaps Tille or Greg can post information on how to get the published files
off the system through whatever techniques the mirrors use?
