I agree on both sides.  I think the biggest uncertainty with the "use
current CVS" directive is that a person could be checking out while one
or more developers are making changes.  In a 15 minute window, the code
could be broken or produce strange results that occured neither before
nor after that window.  Perhaps a daily CVS snapshot (or whatever
frequency you deem useful but not overloading) made by you would be a
good solution.  Then we could establish functionality based on date and
it would be quite easy to move forward or backward through the daily's
(speaking purely from a sysadmin point of view).  It's important to note
that I get constant heat from management about using non-release
versions of anything, especially on anything as visible to the end user
as email.  At least with a snapshot release, I can say "The developers
say this version should work for production."

Food for thought.
