But BK is not open ;)

I could also setup BK instead of subversion, I'd leave that to the
core developers' taste & decision.

I wouldn't fragment autofs (or any other project) across too many
locations w/o a good reason (the reasons are usually that you don't
get the services you need at the location you currently reside,
for example you need a different SCM).

I probably forgot to note that the hosting offer is not coming from a
commercial company, but the physics department of a university in
Berlin (Freie Universität Berlin). I haven't see lawyers or marketing
folks other that wanna-become students on their way to lunch ;)

There is also nobody in my vicinity including me making money out of
autofs. Autofs just makes lives of local system adminstrators under
Linux nicer, which I cannot enumerate in Dollars or Euros. In return
we offer to make development of autofs nicer. :)
