   Such a gateway is very simple to use: You have someone who is the
   "Gatekeeper" between the Arch and CVS world. This person then merges
   stuff form other people's branches into the dedicated "CVS" branch,
   which is synced with CVS in both directions. 

well, we already have capable goal keepers keeping the cvs sources pure
from the corrupting influence of users, so probably there is no need for
more of the same.

     [...] a CVS-tracking-but-not-commit gateway as described above.
     Actually, this sounds like a good intermediate plan.

to me it sounds like a very good plan, even if not intermediate.  a
constellation of source trees, one of which can be labeled "official"
but not requiring any particular additional attention (unless something
tasty appears there).

   I'm not totally clear what you mean here, and how that relates to an
   Arch<->CVS gateway.

it was tangential reflection, harmlessly ignorable.
