+1. For those who disagree, please recognize that the current situation is unmanageable: there are interdependencies between sage and sagenb, so certain changes in sage require changes in sagenb. Getting those changes done in sagenb is difficult, because sagenb is not really actively maintained. So if you disagree, please suggest a concrete alternative, because (as Jeroen says) the status quo is not working.
