Yes, of course. I guess my point is that if you're going to move away
from CVS, please don't just jump to ``slightly better CVS.''

I'm looking forward to a world with more open source projects in
distributed revision control. The ones I'm tracking and doing personal
branches against (vim, tla, a couple of other small projects) are
liberating.

Branching a tree I didn't expect to even have to edit while on an
airplane recently was a very pleasant experience. Actually, being able
to branch without thinking about the horrible consequences of CVS has
been wonderful in general.

As long as CVS works for you, though, you should continue to use it.
