Public Sticky notes

Astute readers of m.d.planning (or obsessive observers of the mozilla.org DNS zone file) may have noticed a new entry recently: hg.mozilla.org.

After a lively discussion, we decided to import the trunk CVS code using an epoch date (which turns out to be "22 Mar 2007 10:30 PDT", aka the MOZILLA_1_9_a3_RELEASE tag's pull date) as opposed to importing the whole history. cvs.mozilla.org will never go away, even if it's retired to the old-VCS's home and put into read-only mode, and the import, even of only the trunk, created repos with large initial pull times and space requirements.
