It was hinted
that CVS will be discontinued within the ASF at the
end of 2005. 

4.) FUD missile.  (Oh, that's not a grammar mistake,
so it doesn't count...)

That's
not a fixed date but it's only a question of time.
Those who follow the
infrastructure list will see that projects are
migrating to SVN one
after another. 
If you want to have a look how many
projects already
migrated go to [1]. We already have the XML Graphics
website on SVN.

Of course, this has some consequences I don't want
to hide:
- People have to get acquainted with a new tool.

4.) People will have

So I guess that changes your vote to -1? ;-)

+1 from me, and for someone who's first language is not English, your written 
English is very good.

You can always put the repository in BitKeeper on bkbits.net.
It has only the bk command-line and the cosmetically basic (but 
extremely useful) bk GUI tools, including citool, difftool and 3-way merge.

There's no integration that I am aware of with Eclipse or other IDEs, 
and certainly no integration with NetBeans.  This is a pain when doing 
any refactoring that involves renaming.  Basically, you can't do such 
things within the IDE.

So why bother?  Try BitKeeper and you'll realize why Linux development 
moved to bk, in spite of the storm of complaint about using a closed 
source tool.  I haven't used Subversion, only read a little about it, 
but bk is the best SCM tool I have ever used, by a country mile.  It is 
designed for distributed development.

This is actually a serious, though futile, suggestion.

There are loads of Source Control tools way better than CVS. But we have to 
rely on a tool that fits within the Apache Infrastructure. This is what makes 
your suggestion futile, not resistence from the committers.
