Yes.  It seems many people missed the announcement.  :\

Shortly after the SGML->XML conversion, hrs@ opened projects/ and user/
spaces.

I've never been big on "what should we call it?" type of things.  :-)
"entities" is fine, in my opinion, since as you point out, after the
authors.ent/developers.ent merge, that branch can be used for a full
sweep to consistify &os; usage.

As the branch is not "production", I would say you should not need
approval to commit there.[1]  I do think a final call for review should
be done prior to the merge.  As far as approval goes for the final
merge, I will approve the commit for you when it is ready.

disagreement on this, and will follow up if necessary.
