That's certainly a great solution set to start with.

BTW- I'm assuming I can get some shell access to play with support 
scripts, database stuff, and such as needed?

We talked about splitting the list out not too long in the past, but it 
was decided then that we didn't have enough traffic to really make it 
benefitial.  I don't know if everyone is still thinking that this is 
true, though.

OK.  I can provide you with tarballs directly from the CVS server, as 
you need them.

pushing data between database backends and such.

Sigh... yeah. :')

I'm not sure yet if everyone is sold on the solution set yet.  It's an 
important change that I'd like to make sure everyone is comfortable with 
before we invest too much time on.
