RE: now and in next year ... [Re: Change CVS module names (Next w eek)]

Tom,

Sam advocated a transition period of 1-2 weeks where both xml-axis and ws-axis would work. AFTER
that period you would have to run the cvsed utility that Sam referred to to fix files (for a file
called "Root") under each of the CVS folders before you can commit. It has taken us so long to get
here...
