[MOBY-dev] Tentative plan for the MOBY Central move

No, we don't. But perhaps I missed something.

I understand that the problem is that our software (our libraries) do not
have (yet) the ability to redirect to the default moby central automatically
when its location changes. You already have prepared this ability to the
Perl libraries and it is a question of few hours to add it to the jMoby
library. So why not to do these changes now, almost silently, but let the
libraries point to the old moby center. Then we can announce that in some
reasonably time, such as a month or several weeks, everybody is advised to
update their installation in order to get new libraries to their machines.
Finally, after an announcement period we can switch.

Just my 2c's,
Martin
