As an admin I will handle the renumbering of ####.dat to ####b.dat, but only if
it is brought to my attention. At present I do not get automatically notified of
all holds, but this is an enhancement I am working on. Please indicate (either
here of by mail to parts@ldraw.org) which file you are concerned about and I'll
sort it out.

This is to prevent erroneous submission of new parts with numbers already used
in the official library. Typically I turn around such requests in less than a
day. Is there any evidence that this is an overbearing burden on the admins?
But actually, I would prefer authors to work on extending the library with new
parts in preference to continually trying to improve or make variants for
existing parts.
