Just in general, app-cvs is a 'BAD' idea. |

It defeats the *entire* purpose of what is going on in general. |

However, I fully agree with known good cvs-snapshots being used for |
| 6 |
packages in the portage tree, but live cvs ebuilds prevent any sort of |
| 7 |
QA in general being done on Gentoo's end. And if you are really wanting |
| 8 |
to use cvs, its assumed that you will be updating and recompiling fairly |
| 9 |
often, and a live-pull cvs ebuild doesnt really help you. |

In general, baring notable exceptions (gaim-cvs, private live-cvs pull |
| 12 |
ebuilds) I dont think live-cvs ebuilds are a good idea at all, and |
| 13 |
surely not a sound reason to add a category just for their use. |

Sorry if this is a bit rambling, just woke up :) |
