Hmm, for UUCP we actually preserved the history in different waym
which is another problem in itself. See below.
We, btw, also still have multiple active cvs repositories used by the
project, both external and internal, so claims that we don't use it
anymore are not true;) I think people are working on the internal
ones to fix this already. I shouldn't mention it but projetcvs still
needs to be migrated somehow.
I'd suggest going ahead in small steps; fix development.7, fix release
man page and scripts, fix Makefile.inc1, ... in HEAD to no logner know
about CVS, fix ports like freebsd-uucp to no longer depend on it, ...
Once this is all done and base is basically clean, and an exp run for
ports was done, come back and see. Everything else is the wrong order
anyway.
This will also give other a proper longer term heads-up to see how
much work it'll take them.
