I like that solution.  (We already have 'cvs rm', after all...)

I sure was.  For that matter, I still am.

On the one hand, I can see the security (albeit purely by obscurity) factor
in not allowing people to find out about projects other than by being
explicitly told about them (either by direct contact ("Hey, Joe - grab the
doc project!") or by putting them in CVSROOT/modules).  On the other hand,
though, there's the nuisance factor of having to do the telling.
