But please, please, please not without a proper plan to keep people informed! I.e. a switch-over plan with deprecation and all. (IOW what I _already_ wrote to Jari.) On at least one machine (not the current one, because I was too lazy), I have a git alias to call when the patch does not apply, to call another program in turn which made it easier for me to integrate a non-applying patch into the current working directory. And guess what: this script accesses .dotest/. Yes, I know, it was _prone_ to move. But I am lucky, I read the git list regularly, I know what truck is going to hit me if I do not change that alias. However, there are others. And while we like to give everybody way too much rope, we should not willfully run a truck in the direction of unsuspecting users.
