Thanks.

I don't know the details of the transition. All I can say is I heartily
support message-mode as default, as it's awesome :-).
Since the freeze doesn't apply to documentation changes, if what you're
worried about can mostly be addressed by doc improvements, then
message-mode isn't an issue as far as the pretest goes anyway, right?

*nod*
One nice thing about working with Bazaar will be that paperwork delays
will have less impact on development, because it'll be easier for any
developer to try out a branch containing the not-yet-approved changes.
(Whereas in CVS, the "apply a patch and revert it later" process is a
bit awkward -- a shallow but still noticeable gumption sink.)
