I wasn't going to jump onto this bikeshed, as CVS will not be going anywhere any time soon, I am sure. I use cvs, rather than csup. I use cvsup to fetch CVS archives to /home/ncvs, and check out ports from there, as described in development(7). If ports were no longer delivered via CVS, you may have had a point about removing CVS from base - but they are not. In my mind, a first step would be to move ports to subversion, initially using svn->cvs bridge. Once done, the next step would be to change all infrastructure scripts so that they can build from/be driven by subversion. After that, nothing in base would use cvs for any purpose, and at that point I would be happy for it to be dropped from base - but only if it was replaced by subversion. I think it is important that with a base install of FreeBSD you can check out and update the source and rebuild itself.
