ah, that's why! i've updated the cl-l10n page...

sorry for turning a bit philosophical here, but what is a "breaking
change"? if this qualifies as one, then the creation itself of stefil
was also a breaking change... and as "breaking change" sounds
something bad, it shouldn't have been done at all...

anyways, people are free to use the old version of stefil. from a
certain perspective we have created something "new" that we think is
better and we are sharing it with the world (as public domain/bsd).

in the light of the dwim.hu refactoring that we have done
(http://dwim.hu/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi for a list of projects), a
regexp replace of a package name and editing a few .asd files is quite
minor... we do much bigger scale changes on a daily basis.

heh, i told Levy that hu.dwim.asdf is a very confusing name... :)

i'll suggest to merge the functionality found in hu.dwim.asdf mostly
into hu.dwim.environment, but that's a different story... for now it
should be enough that hu.dwim.asdf is just a bit or infrastructure
over asdf to handle all our projects uniformly.

i think with the clarifications about hu.dwim.asdf you don't want this
anymore, do you?

i know. i'm not very happy with the content of dwim.hu nor how it is
organized, but that project doesn't pay and we don't have much
reserves, so it's a bit back on our TODO list...

are you evaluating cl-l10n? what are you planning to use it for?
