In fact, we are working on leaving SF. Our website's reliability is lucky to
hit 5 7's (77.777% up).
CVS is sometimes down. Etc. And it is always *slow*.
We wouldn't leave *just* so that we can have the ability to manipulate CVS.
That would, indeed be foolish.
Instead, we are leaving to go to a provider that is donating direct access to
the backbone. We will have
full shell, cgi, CVS *ADMIN*, etc. And if we outgrow the machine we are on,
there (which runs NetBSD, BTW),
we can ship down a new one and they will colocate it.
I really hadn't intended to talk about this until it was more ready (we are
just getting set up), but since it came up...
