Mostly time, or rather lack of: I always ran the older stable version
and never upgraded because your stable version is indeed extremely
reliable, does its job and users do not complain anymore like they used
to with the previous dos-only program.

I keep Windows waaay out of my laptop and of the cluster and I know how
to use cvs at least for anon snapshots, it's just that I am a bit
overworked and in the process of changing job so this is not top
priority now.


Thanks for the cvs marketing effort, one day I'll switch to "bleeding
