If the intent is really to do a source-only releases mostly for system vendors, then I don't see the harm in leaving those changes in. I mean, a vendor is going to cherry pick the ones they want anyway, so let's just make it easy for them to do this. That might mean publishing the svn logs a long with the source release, or publishing each diff and log message separately.

It's not just vendors, also end-users who are concerned about the security of their installations.

I would be bummed to rollback the email package changes.

You don't have to - I will do it for you (although I don't understand fully what "to be bummed" means).

Regards, Martin
