Completely agree (keep CVS) - last job only recently moved from cvs to git.
Netbeans is not just used to develop new projects and new code.
It is used with existing code bases and companies with long lived projects.
My vote again keep SVN, and continue to offer the CSV support that exists.
My NB8.2 has CVS in it - looking at tools/plugins/installed - show details
shows Name CVS, Category Base IDE - description:
*Version: *2.25.1.42.1
*Source: *Certified Plugins
Plugin Description
Introduces project level CVS (Concurrent Versioning System) features.
Version control actions, such as diff, update, and commit aid in
streamlining typical team development cycles.
Where do you get idea CVS is deprecated in Netbeans ?

I could not disagree more. It is important for youngsters to consider
the amount of commitment to a particular technology that business
has. If a company that employs many people uses a particular
technology, then the transition to newer, possibly better technology must
take that into account. If there is a large amount of software that is
built using some package or another, it is stupid to just dump it because
"younger" people like something else. This is business and business is
life to programmers. You like getting paid? Rethink your transition
theology. We all want new technology, but don't kill the goose that
lays the new technology golden egg.
