Removing it because it is basically promoting the FreeBSD-specific CVS hooks and scripts that we do not use any more (other than projects) as the authoritative setup, would seem more reasonable. I think that in some of your other "kill (references to) CVS" campaigns you have devalued cvs-projects too much, but here I feel less strongly. That is because my understanding is that we are recommending svn (whether user or project areas) for *new* projects, and not actively trying to kill cvs projects. People who are using cvs-projects and want something like it locally ought to have a hat pointy enough to not need this document to do it. -Ben Kaduk
