For now, I am suggesting that we propose to do what we know is safe. I
mentioned before that if Roy said it was OK, then I would have no qualm.
Roy made it very clear that the PMC's first responsibility was the
legality of what the programmers are doing.
Right now, the only release process we have is that a subproject votes
on a specific code base and takes responsibility for distributing and
supporting the product. Having a shared CVS doesn't change that.
If you would like to propose an alternate release process, I would
suggest you put something in a proposal that people can vote on, and the
ASF board can approve.
This is not about Agora. We must cope with any and all committers who
might use the shared CVS to develop code, and then want to distribute it
under the Apache brand.

This whole thread started as a vote Costin. So far there are five
positive votes (Craig, Geir, Morgan, David and me), and two negative
(you and Ignacio).
We haven't made the change yet, since Remy, Rodney, and Conor have not
voted.
