For some things it would double the amount of work that I do, having to 
essentially deal with two repositories where I currently only have to 
deal with one.  Multiply that by 4 development machines with CVS 
checkouts, and eventually multiply that by 2 for the 2 active branches I 
am usually working on, and then multiply that by 2 again for the OSAF 
mirror of our CVS that I maintain...
