As opposed to what, CVS? Right now if I want to make any sort of meaningful
checkin with CVS I need to ftp the changes over to a linux box because the
VMS client sucks so badly. (It's unbuildable without serious assault last
time I checked, so I'm stuck with a prebuilt binary) And I can imagine how
much fun it must be to get it building on a Cray or OS/390 machine running CMS.
No matter what we choose we're going to come up short.
