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 ;-)
