NO !	That assumes everyone has good net connectivity ... & they don't all.
CTM has distinct advantages for maintenance of my local CVS tree,
namely, only my local ISP needs be up to supply the mail,
even if the rest of the net, or freebsd servers are dead or slow as hell... 
no problem !

.... Grin .... No Comment ;-)

Don't confuse the various methods of distributing updates
	{sup mirror ctm cvsup }
with the method of src/ tree maintenace
	{ cvs extract on dates or head, current/, stable/ snaps etc )
