2. Any files that use the same number as a current official part or • another part
in 2001-01.

Does this mean that if there are 2 parts called x530.dat that only one of • them will
be released?
I hope that you would have the sense to take the few minutes to assign one • of them
to an unused x number :)

That would be a bit confusing, and if any beginners loaded the unofficial
parts (you just know it's going to happen!) they may not realise that you
have to edit the parts.lst file to remove the extra entry later. I can see
why Steve wants to keep it to one of each file - when the official update
comes out the unofficial parts will get overwritten, and there won't be any
extra parts kicking around that will have to be manually removed. Maybe the
duplicates should be offered on the site to download for those people who
want to compare the parts and offer suggestions in the parts review process.
