I'd say mask < 1. as soon as anything 1.4 hits the tree (even p-masekd). Th= is=20 way we warn users but also give them a chance to save a local copy of their= =20 favorite version. *We* cannot mirror sources, but as I understand, nothing= =20 prohibits end users from saving their stuff locally. Is this right? Yes, this would be against any policy we have, but then the whole situation= is=20 kind of against anything that was ever considered when policies were=20 developed..
