Prague, August 16, 2006 . The main GCVS problem is that it is no longer a GENERAL catalogue of variable stars (in fact, it even never was). The GCVS always was a catalogue of galactic variables, with a minor number of extragalactic stars that were included mainly by misunderstandings. ... Recently, many thousands of new variable stars were discovered in automatic survey projects (for example, some 30000 non-GCVS stars solely in the ASAS-3 project). ...
