The original discussions of the CVS shutdown did involve leaving a read only service intact [1]. Not all code from past releases was migrated, so anyone wanting to find the source for an old release, or do long term maintenance on old releases, needs access to the CVS data. At the very least we need the tarred archives to be made available soon, so we are not in a state where source from past releases (or build scripts to produce them) is completely unavailable.
Having said that, the value of a read only CVS service is limited. As Konstantin mentioned it can lead to confusion, and anyone wanting to reproduce old builds will eventually need a write accessible repository. There is a good chance anyone consuming non-Orbit bundles from CVS is getting a bad stale copy and should really be moving to the Git equivalent. There is evidently a cost to maintaining the read-only CVS service so that has to be weighed against the limited value of keeping it around.

I am just worried about the impact that that will have on WTP users who wish to get the source for the Juno release (and prior releases). We went to the effort of putting in the appropriate Eclipse-SourceReferences information in all of our plugins, and all through the Juno release, these were set up for anonymous CVS access to our source. Now those Eclipse-SourceReferences are useless. Is there really no possibility of restoring the read-only anonymous access? (And I know that WTP is not the only project that set up Eclipse-SourceReferences to CVS code- even the platform in all of its Indigo releases, has CVS Eclipse-SourceReferences.)
