10 although moving around in cvs is a pita, i dont see it being all that common
11 in the xml subdir ... many of the other benefits that svn has over cvs
12 (branching and changesets) just isnt that useful in terms of website
13 management imo ...

15 also, although i cant comment on this directly, i imagine that all the
16 infrastructure we have in place (automated QA checks, cvs->website nodes,
17 etc...) would be a pain to change over too ...
