I totally agree, however it's clear from Steve's emails that he simply
isn't going to seem the same way as us on this. If other people want to
argue with each other over this, that's fine, I know a lot of Linux
people get a kick out of arguing over dependencies and libraries and
licenses. But it's not going to change anyone's opinion, and as the CVS
we're using right now belongs to Steve, arguing over it and not doing
anything will basically just result in the version we're working on
being wiped out at the end of the month.

As far as I can tell, it's either get Steve to agree to a CVS branch, or
fork the thing entirely ourselves, or otherwise abandon this GOTM. I am
merely trying to make a suggestion somewhere inbetween these two
extremes.
