CVS Questions

I was contemplating banging together a quick script to find the fastest 
CVS mirrors which essentially tries to retrieve a small distribution from 
all the available CVS servers.  Does this seem like the type of thing that 
would be well-recieved into the base-distro or ports?  Or would it simply 
be seen as putting extra load on the CVS servers?

An optional thing I would be interested in putting in this is the ability 
to disfavor any server which was close to its access limit.  Is there any 
support in the protocol for knowing which user out of how many you are?
