b) adding new applications and playing with new concepts
   based on the current set of libraries

c) starting from scratch with something revolutionary rather
   than cloning existing environments

b) New applications and playing with new concepts can also be done
in CVS HEAD, although to prevent destabilizing the codebase,
for larger and substantial changes I recommend adding new directories
