IIUC, you plan to bifurcate the current changes fsfs-format7 to two sets: one that will end up in trunk libsvn_fs_fs via the fsfs-improvements branch (will that be f6 or f7?), and one that will end up in trunk as libsvn_fs_x (via the fsfs-format7 branch). Right? That sounds good to me. Your 3rd and 4th bullets address the "Don't destabilize FSFS" concern. > -- Stefan^2.
