CVS is more extensively used than just the FOSS universe -- I've come across (and in some cases, worked for) a good number of customers who use it for their own products/projects. I cannot imagine any of them ever converting to another SCM in the lifetime of their products, and the inclusion of CVS tools would make Solaris slightly easier to use for them. A note on the manpage that new projects should consider svn or hg instead might be a good idea, but marking it obsolete would seem to me to significantly devalue the purpose for adding it. -- Andrew
