That author is noone else but Brecht Van Lommel, and he certainly is
on the list. He even has commit-rights to the Verse CVS nowadays. :)

I'll leave that one for Brecht to answer.

It most certainly can, and I will try to be careful. Actually, I was
probably a bit too negative above; I generally run the latest CVS
version myself so I of course have an interest in keeping it working.

But, if there is major restructuring to be done in the future, it
is helpful to have CVS during the development too, and in that case
we will take care to branch it and communicate which branch is which.
