I thought about that.  However, to me, the "archives" sounded
more like the online repository of all the historical
collections.

I had a quick look and everything seemed to be in order.  I have
complete archives if anyone notices anything missing.  It can be
corrected.

I was just keeping with tradition.  However, it's a good point.
I'd also like to drop the seasonal reference too.  The symposia
where these things were gathered don't seem to happen anymore,
at least as far as I know.

So, how does, "VMS/L&T SIG Collection YYYY Hn" sound?  The
release I'm collection for might be "VMS/L&T SIG Collection 2009 H2".

I'm doing that too.  However, sometimes things get missed or
overlooked.  I figured I'd give people the chance to let me
know of anything they thought was worth including.
