Anything that makes maintaining the CEDET code in the Emacs repository and my own repository easier will help to help work around the paperwork issues I have to deal with. That would indeed be a big boon for me. I hadn't acted on these suggestions in the past because my Linux distro had been so old and I was too lazy to build whatever vcs was suggested myself. Now that I've upgraded, this is no longer an issue.
