An alternative VCS may have technical advantages (atomic commits and
versioned metadata are the two main ones) but unless it allows anyone
to have a local copy of the repository and implements all the CVS
read commands (checkout, diff, history, log, update) indentically to
CVS then it's a drastic change.  Changing the repository name, updating
process or access process means everyone will need to update their
private scripts.
