Uh, yah. But I was refering to the "lots of opinions on what replacement 
system to use". This has not much to do with the want or need (for lack 
of a better alternative) to stay with CVS, IMO.

I absolutely agree. And I'm quite sure most PostgreSQL developers also 
know that, thus I don't see much point in warning them - they are 
resistant enough ;-)

As you might have noticed, I myself don't consider monotone ready for
