Replying to a somewhat random mail in this thread.

Has anyone considerede that the people actually using CVS for getting 
the source might be somewhat overrepresented on freebsd-current?

If I had to guess, the average user is using either freebsd-update or 
csup (or even cvsup) to update a freshly installed system. Those that 
need the added flexibility provided by using CVS directly should be 
fully able to install it using pkg_add.

Personally I pkg_add screen on new systems before doing anything else. I 
have never considered that a problem.

I use CVS myself from time to time, but I see no need for it to be in 
base for that reason.

BTW. I think the bikeshed should be painted blue.
