Hmm, many people are moving from Win95, to Win98, to Win2k, WinXP
etc. and in due course of time support for some of those old OS-es
vanish.

Similarly, we moved from e.g. kernel 2.0, to 2.4, to 2.6 and some of the
older ones are not longer supported.

I had lot of repos in darcs-1 format and upgraded them all to darcs-2...

So, I understand you could have many old branches laying around, but do
not understand what's the problem to fire up some small script and
upgrade all those repos?

That would be at least something...


Sincerely,
