I'm not *against* such a change, but I'm not a big supporter of it.
Maybe if we could revive the old primitives committee (you all know who
you are), or if there was another admin for the PT who could oversee
this project, that would be a good thing...

I'd rather not start hard-coding the PT with specific names and such.
OTOH, coding it to reject files which reference ~moved-to files is
probably a good thing. :)

The neck-mark was done with full review. And there isn't really any
provision in the PT for a 'shortcut review process'. Not to say it
couldn't be set up, but it's not built-in.
But a 'full review' for straight-forward changes is not necessarily as
in-depth as a 'full review' for more involved changes.

No, the install mechanism doesn't support delete. :(
What we've done in the past is (a) replace the files with 0 DELETE ME
stubs (ie, the new files contained only a single line '0 DELETE ME') and
(b) provide a .BAT file (DOS script) that deletes the old files.

Yeah, there's about 190 such files in the official library. Including
the open-center studs. I don't think references to ring10 were included
in the grep.
