Would you care to list FreeBSD (http://www.freebsd.org/)? We've been using CVS since (at least) May 1994 to manage the FreeBSD source code, the ports tree, and the FreeBSD web site. In addition, you might like to point readers at CVSup, which can be found at http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/ In a nutshell, this is a more intelligent replacement for "cvs update" that can drastically reduce the amount of information that needs to be transferred between a repository and users of that repository (or mirrors). When synching with the FreeBSD repository I often see an effective bandwidth of 70KB/s over my 33.6kbps modem line. CVSup is also used by other projects, include KDE and Postgres.
