I will confess to moving the goal posts a bit ;-).  If we didn't have
such a near-perfect conversion, I would be willing to throw stuff
overboard on the grounds that people could go back to the CVS repository
if they cared.  But we are at a point now where it's very hard to
conceive of a reason for needing to do that.  So I don't want to
arbitrarily create reasons.

... but having said that, I'm not sure that the ecpg_big_bison branch
should be considered part of the core project history.  You could
certainly argue that it wouldn't be there anyway if we'd had better
tools.

Again, I'd be interested to hear some other people's opinions.
