I hope these changes may be front-loaded, e.g. in some beta of 6.2.

I personally summed up that one reason of difficulties in syncing
sympa-cleanup and other branches was gap in placement of file.  As
far as we use subversion for a while, this gap will tend to disturb
merger or comparison between each branches.

Such changes may not affect to stability much, I guess.


I'll make comments on remainder of your post afterward, if any.


Regards,
