And thats the real trick, I'd imagine the mercurial, svn and bzr guys 
would disagree with you.

If someone else wants to host it I'm all for it, we can certainly make 
it easier to get at the raw CVS repo.  If the other officers disagree 
please let it be known, but this sounds more like a distraction/one off 
then something that adds value to our infrastructure.
