As an aside, these change-set based source code management tools, such

developers such as myself too. We could much more easily provide small
change sets with only inter-related changes even when our local trees
contain many un-related changes to the same files.

Indeed, and I think we all would like to switch away from CVS. However, NetBSD is a very large source tree, and most of the current DVCS tools (and centralized ones too!) do not scale well to handle it. If someone experimented with the NetBSD tree in multiple systems, did some benchmarks, etc. etc. we'd draw some conclusions and make the switch, I guess ;-)
