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 ;-)
