    I was reviewing the conversion script that was created and it only
does the project and bugs. Nothing else was ever written to convert the
rest of the information.  Is there a feel yet for what projects are
willing to leave behind and what they won't. In the past most of the
projects that wanted to move and have done so already were happy with
CVS. I don't know if that is the case though as for the remaining
projects.
