	Since inn-2.4.3.tar.gz contains a pointer to a CVSup repository,
	I concluded that the transition has happened fairly recently.

	I use Arch for my projects for about a year and a half.  While
	it was somewhat troublesome to learn, it, in my opinion, paid
	off by now.  It's somewhat OT, but could you explain what
	difficulties you see are there with GNU Arch?

	It took very little time for me to learn the basics of Git,
	Mercurial and Bzr, although I've been using Arch for more than a
	year by that time, so the basic concepts of DVCS (and I deem
	them to be quite hard to get in) were already known to me.
