I forgot my "more on this below" :-)

I know you've explained it a number of times, but can you detail for me
again why you're moving files around in the way you are?  I might be able to
come up with a better solution.  It was a major sticking point with our
archive admins last go around and I'd like to improve the situation with the
-3 package if at all possible.

Thanks again!

-Brian
