It's worth keeping in mind that one of the primary reasons we don't have a 
different usage pattern is because CVS makes such a thing painful.  Given how 
much of development is done now, I have a feeling that the community might 
well adopt a distributed development model and strongly benefit from it given 
a tool that makes it manageable, but CVS will certainly never give us that.
