They all Are you sure there are no other reasons for not doing it? What happens if you cvsup from a site that has an older version of the tree than you do? Does it do nothing in both repository mode and in checked-out mode? CVS removes changes and gives you an older version if you update from an old repository (at least if you're on the main branch). Which is the right thing for CVS to do because with CVS the only way you should end up with an old repository is if you restore an old backup after you've lost the one that's up-to-date. But if cvsup ever removes changes, a DNS round-robin entry could cause problems that don't occur when always syncing from a specific server.
