While I agree with you on most of this, documentation is another matter. If
we put it in CVS, this forces everyone to use the same format (DocBook XML,
TeX, etc.). Getting someone to write something is hard enough, but forcing
them to use an unfamiliar format makes it nearly impossible. However, I
think CVS would be useful for maintaining larger documents like guides and
manuals.
Note: I'm still reading on-line CVS documentation.
