As near as I can tell, the arguments for a new SCM mostly apply to work
which individual developers are doing outside the main tree.  So, given
the existence of stuff like git-cvsimport, I don't see a strong reason
why anyone who wants to work that way can't already sync the core CVS
with a local SCM-of-their-choice and get on with it.

You're right that this is utterly unrelated to the scheduling question,
anyway.
