Thanks, I've integrated them into stable without any hassle. :) As for removed
spells, we don't really have a protocol for that, but in the past (I'm sure
you
know this, just reiterating for others) we've updated UPDATED on the removed
spell, made the removed spell depend on the new one, and have the new one
conflict with the removed spell. Kind of a mess, but it somewhat works. Then
after a certain amount of time (specified in the removed spell's POST_INSTALL
with a message, usually one (1) month) we remove all mention of the removed
spell from the grimoire. So whenever you feel it's safe to remove the CVS
version, go ahead, then we'll wait a bit to integrate into stable.
