Are there any plans for changing snavigator's distribution policy?
You current policy is pretty annoying (ftp almost permantently
unreachable - at least I haven't manage to access it, ever), only
full 10MB-tarballs, no CVS, no diffs, no frequent bug fixes.
Sorry, if this may sound like ranting, but it's definitely not
indented to be regarded as such.
