well, that's only the start of the issue. there's also change sets, more 
dynamic branching and the scalability of algorithms employed by CVS.

i'm sure that when the time is right, we will end up transitioning to a better 
tool such as subversion (which is probably the only Free Software option even 
close to being capable of handling a KDE type project).

personally i see "the time is right" being when we aren't involved in an 
impending release and when the chosen RCS is mature enough to be trusted with 
our code.
