You know very well that's not the issue.

Imagine you're working with somebody testing some code, but that person has no CVS write access. After you checkin your changes what will you gonna do: tell him to wait two or three days until the SF anonymous CVS backup updates, or email him patches. Either way it sucks since it slows development. > How many people have complained? I which it had been many - it would be sign of a lot people helping - but the number it's nor everything.
