    are you going to use the same model for the r5 contrib tape
    that was used for r4?

I suppose it's about time I answered this.

The R5 core distribution will first be made available via anonymous ftp to the
general public.  We will then give people about 1 month to give us contrib
software.  The combined package will then be made available on tape from MIT.

(As to when the core will be available, still no comment.)
