Actually, I'd start having a look at the trigger-happy MFC operations going on lately before complaining any about the volume of the CVS repo.

I'll only say that my personal guess is that he would be willing to finish this work on a contract basis, though I would guess he does not want any strings from OVCS to FreeBSD.
