Regardless what you guys decide to do with these handbook bits:

I've posted what I can glean as the current state of things, I'm trying to centralize notes on this topic, here:

  https://wiki.freebsd.org/UsersFetchingSource

So this svn / cvsup src issue is all over a number of lists, (some that I'm not even on).  Some cool outcomes this week are now in play, (subversion-static port, svnup activity, etc…)

However, cvsup for src still does not have an end-of-life date, (though obviously deprecated).

Please feel to make edits (esp. if you are a committer and know something I don't!), or email me with corrections and I'll put them in!  (I'm trying to capture the clear bits from all the lack of clarity on the topic).

Best,
