Has anyone considerede that the people actually using CVS for getting
the source might be somewhat overrepresented on freebsd-current?
Probably you are right. I guess I would never use CVS if I wouldn't be a
software developer
and was not able to fix smth by my self. But as a developer I like to
see the tool I got accustomed
out of the box as it was to for many years. Especially after I've
started to help to friends working in
companies with restricted Internet access or detached systems. I've
started to hate most of linux
distributions since they do not have almost any tool for digging and
solving problems. But
with FreeBSD I even can solve the problem from my seat just giving
instructions by phone or
skype.

If I had to guess, the average user is using either freebsd-update or
csup (or even cvsup) to update a freshly installed system. Those that
need the added flexibility provided by using CVS directly should be
fully able to install it using pkg_add.
Personally I pkg_add screen on new systems before doing anything else.
I have never considered that a problem.
I use CVS myself from time to time, but I see no need for it to be in
base for that reason.
BTW. I think the bikeshed should be painted blue.
