You can rename, move or delete /sw/fink/CVS--normally people just rename files/folders that aren't too big, so they are easy to put back if they are wanted later.
Fink will use the whatever .info and .patch files are on your system as of right now. The subsequent remark isn't directed at Bradley in particular, but for readers of this list, to avoid a possible source of confusion: I've made this point before, but let me reiterate: CVS does not necessarily mean unstable. Frequently new versions of packages get moved to stable, and you can get them with "selfupdate-cvs", but still not have unstable turned on. On the other hand, without CVS access enabled, you can get such packages only when binaries are made or another point release is made.
