Virtually everyone that uses a version control system chooses git, mercurial, subversion, etc. FreeBSD has finally migrated from CVS for all of the repositories [2]. The ports management team has announced the end of CVS support in six months time (the end of February 2013). The documentation project does not export subversion to CVS. The source repository will eventually cease support of CVS as well. As such I propose that we treat CVS as deprecated in 9.x and remove CVS from HEAD [0]. There is already a port devel/cvs which uses a virtually identical copy of the CVS sources in HEAD as of today.
