It's worth keeping in mind that one of the primary reasons we don't have a
different usage pattern is because CVS makes such a thing painful. Given how
much of development is done now, I have a feeling that the community might
well adopt a distributed development model and strongly benefit from it given
a tool that makes it manageable, but CVS will certainly never give us that.
