Saying the project will be a particular way weakens the argument given the project's glorious history on such pronouncements... It is a great goal, but I'd rather see more concrete progress towards the goal before pulling the trigger.
Oddly, the opposite argument was put forth for removing sysinstall in
HEAD when there was no replacement available for the post-install
features of sysinstall. The fact that it got removed anyway helped spur
action regarding its replacement.
The balls are already rolling towards getting SVN mirrors in place, and
anyone who still needs CVS years from now can install it from ports.
