My though was for it be just such for it to be temporary up to
release of v2.05 when we could move current djgpp/current
away (to djgpp/deleted or  something like djgpp/old) and rename
djgpp/next to djgpp/current.

It could also be not under DJGPP directory tree like pub/djgpp-next
(In that case we could put copies of files from beta there).
I would like to achieve possibility of review of it before actually 
switching
directories to detect possible omissions or problems.

There is of course danger of happening the same as with v2.04.
Russians have saying like "nothing is so permanent as a temporary
building" (ничто так не постоянно, как временное здание)
