You're not advocating doing it wholesale..

...But, actually you are! Realy, I don't see why you're trying to shove this
down everyone's throaght so badly. If devs want to move their projects, they
will and if they also leave the CVS repo behind, they'll get all the support
queries which is _their_ problem, not mine, not yours.

I'm not against it's introduction, I'm against doing it wholesale.

There _are_ two camps of thinking, just not the ones you mentioned. On one side
you have those that want to control everything and on the other you find those
who "couldn't care less". The later has a future, the former doesn't. Just let
both be and devs will use/convert to whichever suits them best at a time when it
suits them.
