I didn't look,  (I was looking re. our ABI & acroread).

Specificly:
  Removing CVS from src/ will be easily recoverable for
  commited FreeBSD users, but will degrade FreeBSD for some
  visitors from other Unixes & ex BSD people tentatively returning.

Generaly:
  At the stage one tries new Unixes, if too many things are missing
  &/or too much trouble to learn what & how & where changed, & how
  to restore; Rather than lose a lot of time on docs, mail lists
  etc, it's easy to decide: "Probably much else changed or missing
  too, I'll lose too much time to revert it to a working Unix
  environment. Try next OS."

Cheers,
Julian
