This is a difficult one. |

This is more the exception rather than the rule. CVS is a unique |
| 14 |
minority category where the packages require greater maintenance from |
| 15 |
both the user and dev perspective and generally suffer more problems or |
| 16 |
issues of some sort. |

A separate category would make listing all cvs packages easier and may |
| 19 |
(or may not) also make maintenance easier. The directory is making not |
| 20 |
only a statement of different retrieval method but also a different |
| 21 |
genre of packages in terms of cutting edge application versions. |

Intuitively speaking, I'd find it quite natural to look in app-cvs for |
| 24 |
gaim-cvs just like net-im. |
