csup vs cvs

[doug at safeport.com]

Yesterday I was updating an 8.0 stable system to pick up a change I specifically 
needed. The change was MFC'd Apr 4th at 11:38. I waited until about 8PM and ran 
cvs from cvsup2.FreeBSD.org. When the change was not there, I waited until Apr 
5th, a bit after midnight. When I still did not pick up the change, I updated 
from a cvs repository.

My question is how are the mirrors updated (cvsup2 specifically I guess). In 
general is using csup and cvs equivalent processes for non developers?.
