It appears that the BitKeeper repository at bk://bitkeeper.fsmlabs.com:5000
has changed.  What happened to the previous BK tree?  Was it replaced with the
2.4.0 baseline?

The former 2_3 tree has been replaced with a new 2_4 tree which currently does
_not_ have all of the fixes needed for PPC.

Is there some place where such decisions are discussed or at least announced?

Formally? Nope.  You just got the announcement. :)

Things like that hit my with surprise again and again (and  obviously
not only me).

Hey, it supprised me this morning to find out it had changed.  But it was also
expected.  2.3 is dead, it's now 2.4.

A few days ago Steven Hanley [off-list ref] asked for the currently
active devel tree. The question has not been answered yet.

Active devel for what?  The 2_5 tree (I'm sure if you search the -dev archives
there's a few pointers to it, bk://bk.fsmlabs.com:5005 is where the unstable
stuff happens, before moving to a stable tree.

I really would appreciate a summary about the current  state  of  the
different source trees.

Sure:
linuxppc_2_3 - "Dead", it still exists on the server, but it's going away.
linuxppc_2_4 - Where 2_3 used to be.  It doesn't compile at the moment, but it
will later today / tomorrow (I'm testing it right now).
linuxppc_2_5 - Same old unstable dev tree, still port 5005

Any comment from the Powers That Be?

I don't know if I count, I just commit stuff :)
