Since CVS is an external plugin we do not need it tested. SVN on the other hand does need to be tested as it’s still part of the core, I’ve mentioned this a couple times now.
It is interesting hearing the commentary on perceptions of DVCS solutions (Git, hg). Both of these are far easier to use and require no server (svn needs an apache web server, cvs needs a proprietary server), branching/forking/merging is so easy it’s unbelievable. It’s important for all technology that we don’t hold back younger generations by supporting legacy as it slows evolution of technology.
