*snip whole discussion*

But two questions remain:

• Should we start removing Authors-lines willy-nilly right now?
• Should we refuse to accept new code which is tagged with Authors?

I think we should start removing Author-lines right away either as you go or in chunks - whatever rocks your boat. And also refuse code tagged with authors. This should be stated in the HACKING file.

To sum up what's been decided so far: - Remove the legacy $Id$ keyword - Simplify the source file header. (I support Morten's suggestion with a disclaimer included in the version tag.)

Have I missed something?

Hopefully we can close this discussion and start with the migration soon.
