I'm not philosophically opposed to an old/new library, but it would be awkward to
administer.  Especially if we suddenly started restricting ourselves from modifying
the uncertified files.  We'd start spending a lot of time explaining to people *why*
we sent back fixes they submitted.

Also, we don't necessarily have a record of author->file contributional relationship.
In other words, not all changes have been logged.
