I've shipped some patches to CVS, but not very many. CVS is a hassle that
keeps getting in my way. We're about to review and upgrade Nagios in op5
Monitor now though, so expect some patches (the ones that have been
brewing in my patch queue at least), to be exported to CVS in the next
3-4 weeks.
Moving to SVN would make my life a bit easier, since gitsvn integration
works quite well. Or I could hack up a "gvs" wrapper that does everything
exactly like cvs does it but works on a git repository instead. Getting
away from CVS would be a move in the right direction, since not even the
CVS team recommends using it anymore and it hasn't been worked on since
May 2008.
I could live with CVS too if I really have to, but it means patches from
me will be left hanging until I have time to fiddle with the cvs export
commit script.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
