All I mean is that eventually, there will be a moment in time in which a 
package's CVS moves from internal to external.  The maintainer basically 
has control over that timeframe, which doesn't have to be long.  But at 
some point the maintainer of a package will say something like:

"no more checkins to the internal CVS, we're moving"
 	followed by
"ok to checkin, we're now in the external CVS"

is that wrong?
