I buy most of Jordan's arguments about getting rid of -stable (though I'm not sure why CVS should be the problem. Sure, I don't like it either, but the way I see it, that's mainly a problem of documentation), and so I'm not going to argue against killing -stable,

Try using it _seriously_ someday and no explanation will be necessary. Suffice it to say that it has absolutely nothing to do with the documentation.

The problem with CVS is access protocol.

No, the problem is that CVS doesn't handle diverging source trees very well. The access to the tree is *completely* and *utterly* irrelevant to the problems at hand, and just because you want it changed doesn't mean you should get on your soapbox and call for it's implentation.

Stick the to *problem* that's being discussed, not one that you (and only you) consider to be a real problem with CVS.

You're tryin to break the model that CVS was designed for, and this part of the model is *NOT* one of the problems FreeBSD is facing now.
