Neither of those are arguments against using CVS. We can and should be 
making a regular backup of the entire CVS archive (they are just files, 
after all) and I believe a tool exists to migrate from a CVS archive to 
an SVN archive. (Please correct me if I'm wrong on this.)

Studying the original source code released by Borland would be one place 
to start. ViewCVS is the second. CVS moves deleted files into the attic.
