    No. I think we still need the revision selection rule to determine what
    revisions are selected on workspace refresh, and to indicate what was used
    on the last refresh as an indicator of what's in the workspace. Note that
    if the revision selection rule only contain configurations, it never needs
    to be refreshed. These are "production" workspaces.

    <<
    So as cool as dynamic revision selection is, I believe we should
    excercise self-restraint and commit to static revision selection
    for the first version of the versioning protocol.
    Once that is widely implemented, and implementors are just dying
    to do something more challenging (:-), I'd be happy to consider
    adding in dynamic revision selection.

    I second Geoff's observation. It also reduces the implementors need to
    introduce new administrative mechanisms to manage rules, etc.
