We have no plans to shut down the gnats or source cvsup *at this
time*.   There are eventual plans to do but no firm date.

For ports, a date has been decided: Feburary 28, 2013 we will stop
exporting ports to cvsup.  It is strongly recommended that you use
portsnap or svn if at all possible.

As for GNATS, there are plans to eventually move away from GNATS but
details have not been decided.
