I'd support it too - but we need some "backups" somewhere (what's
e.g. the sourceforge' policy&guarantees on their own
failures?). Besides, keeping the CVS history is IMHO not so critical:
we can host a read-only CVS server somewhere with the "old stuff". Not
to mention, the history has already been a couple of times..
