Well, guess you have been lucky in your "extremely heavy" use of CVS. Our developers have not been so lucky.
So, you claim people rewrite perfectly good code Just For The Heck Of It, and then make up excuses as to why they spent huge amounts of time on a project? Um...yeah.
And then, you claim to know why this was "really" done. Funny, I don't recall seeing your name on the list of OpenBSD developers. I don't recall seeing you in the internal discussions on this. I do recall seeing many developers have CVS do something stupid on them, following up with "how's JFB's CVS replacement coming along? I can't wait". I can assure you, it wasn't about the license. For the record, I've never had CVS do anything surprising to me when committing but I am certainly one of the lightweight users on the project, and I'd certainly not use that experience as the Universal Experience.
Believe it or not, as a mostly volunteer force, we don't go about rewriting perfectly good software the size of CVS just for grins and giggles. There is WAY too much important work to do to waste time remaking perfectly good wheels. This wheel was ready for replacement. :)
