I didn't realize it was eleven years that FreeBSD moved to subversion.
It was at this point that I personally moved completely away from CTM.
I maintain CTM as a service to you guys.

What are the barriers that stop you moving to subversion?

I really like subversion, because it gives me the version control that
CVS couldn't do easily.  The version control across many different
computers is what made me like CTM, but when they switched from CVS to
subversion, I found that subversion gives me everything I wanted, plus a
lot more.
