 8. I've developed something called CVS-Backup. It archives CVS
    repository after each commit - so I can reverse your commits
    (without messing up changelog) if they are bad.
-   
+   If you think your bugfix or other change was bad and unneeded,
+   ask me to reverse it instead of commiting previous version!
    
 I think our rules aren't too hard. If you have comments, contact me.
