Replacing a VCS for the fun of it is pretty pointless.  Can you
elaborate on a workflow you would like to see that CVS is not suited
to?  Right now, CVS works fine for what we do, which is mostly editing
spec files.

I am by no means a proponent of CVS.  I think it sucks.  But we have no
_usecase_ for a different VCS at the moment.
