Hi Bastian, I recently had to install pretty broad blocking of user agents because it was overloading my website (50 times increase in traffic, mostly hitting my repositories). If you can provide my your user agent I can fine-tune the block list. I can also provide you a unique link (not via the BTS) that will allow me to extract the user agent myself. > Please reconsider this.

If feels hypocritical to manage a package that is meant to expose CVS repositories not in CVS so I'd rather not switch to Git for cvsd. It is also fun to use cvs commands every 10 years or so to find out that I haven't lost muscle memory of the commands yet ;). Also, I really prefer to have as much as possible self-hosted for as long possible because I feel we should try to encourage a decentralised Internet.
