You forgot to mention Arch, which with CVS is the only one actually used
very actively for development (it's used to keep branches in sync).

As long as the forgeign branches are kept in sync with the CVS branches,
I don't think it's a big deal.  For me the plan goes as follows:
- ascertain that Bzr is good enough for our usage pattern.
- place Bzr branches that mirror the CVS ones (and are kept in sync)
  on savannah.
- get vc-status to a good enough shape to be usable on those Bzr branches.
- get Miles to switch from Arch to Bzr to do the merge between branches.
- drop the CVS repository.
