Jon, thank for your valuable feedback, and to some degree I agree with you. I for myself have never seen any problems with CVS (except for teams spread across locations such as New York, London and Tokyo, where all team members in a different location than the CVS repository suffer a performance penalty).
Having said that, I hope you agree with me that the Castor project has shifted gears over the last 10 months or so, both in terms of the bugs being fixed and the number of people actively joining the (committer) team. Reading a statement such as yours >but I'd prefer to >see any effort of the Castor team geared toward >actually improve the Castor product itself I hope you understand that Castor is an open source project and hence relies on contributions from people like you. Please bear in mind that nobody is being paid for his role with Castor, and we all donate some of our spare time to grow and mature the product. The more time is being 'donated', the better the product will be in the end. But this relation can only be changed by adding more active people, but expecting more time for the existing (active) committers.
