Not quite sure what you are referring to by "random version". But csup
certainly allows you to obtain the source as described in your scenario
above ("last available source", even source at a particular point in time).
Also, when I said CVS doesn't cover csup, I meant any removal of CVS
from base would still leave csup available for obtaining source.
