Randy,

I don't see it  that way... Of course it looks a  bit messy now, but I
have a working MUA, and can wait  until at a new beta of everything is
announced (as I am not able to contribute to development). Some people
thankfully became  active and do it  their way (in this  case by using
git), so let us  wait what comes out. As far as  I understand the idea
is to keep stuff in git until it is well enough tested and to check it
into the CVS only then. IMHO very reasonable.

In fact most  of the messages from the last weeks  would belong into a
wl-devel mailing list which does not exist (at least in english).
