The fact that we have so many people who are radically change-averse, no

This particular bug is complicated dramatically by the fact that the
majority view seems to lean heavily towards "If I use it, it must be the
default and/or in the base" rather than seeing ports as part of the
overall operating SYSTEM.
You are right in general, except one small factor. We are talking about
bootstrap.
CVS is used by many as the one of the ways to get the sources to the freshly
installed system to recompile to the last available source. It will become
inconvenient
to do it through the process of installing some ports for that. Especially
if corresponding
ports would require some other ports as dependences.
Do you really use CVS and not cvsup/csup? CVS != csup.
I use ctm/csup to get(update) CVS source tree and cvs to checkout the
exact version I need.
Having cvs tree locally it is more convenient to keep one central repo
for updating local
systems based on different branches and to roll back a little bit for
example with the ports
tree in case I can't upgrade all needed ports to "current" for some
reasons and got some
problems with dependences.
I can have what ever development system on the development machine, but
unlikely I'll
have one on all production systems by default since of additional
potentially buggy
packages, additional dependences, additional upgrade problems etc.
