I agree. I hope that I do not give the impression that GC is now
safe for arbitrary repositories. I only thought that this was prudent
to do before I start taking new dependencies on the code.

It' probably time for someone to do a round of the_repository cleanups
again, and perhaps the RC window is a good time to think about that
(for submission after the release).
