The most important thing not to break are the frontends (exmh, mhe, etc) but 
let's not be afraid of breaking them in the short term because in the long 
term, whatever problems turn up can be fixed.

We've mh-e people stand up, and Chris and myself can probably handle any
breakage in exmh - but there's one caveat:  If you make a change that modifies
the line-mode flags (or default values for same) please speak up so us
maintainers of layered stuff know something happened. It's really easy to deal
with a mail that says "I just commited a change that adds a new flag -foobar to
'inc' - please test".  It's a lot harder to troubleshoot 3 weeks later. ;)

Is it possible to gate CVS commit messages to this list, or start an nmh-commits
list for same?  Then if people use sane messages in their 'cvs commit',
all the rest is easy once it's set up. ;)
