You're wrong. It's the other way around:

On the other hand, SVN is centralized too :-)

What I wanted to say is that FreeBSD will remain for the time being, on
cvs - is that correct?

Until we're happy with another tool and have reasons that make moving
worth the effort, we'll stay with CVS.

This is /not/ because of the CVSup infrastructue though, which is
essentially good at throwing arbitrary filesets around and doesn't tie
us to CVS.
