I don't really understand their strategy:
"1. We plan on re-implementing the CVS service offering using current
best practices
2. We plan on discouraging new projects from using the CVS service and
directing them to something that is more current
3. We plan on helping projects interested in migrating to a more current
SCM platform through documentation and direct assistance as needed"
So two out of three measures to improve CVS hosting reliability involves
moving people away from CVS? This sounds like the acknowledgment that
they won't be able to offer a reliable CVS service.
Some time ago I had suggested to move to SVN (subversion), but in the
meantime I have changed my mind to an attitude of "don't change a
working setup". But maybe the times of a working setup are over?
