I don't have an objection against SVN either now or later. If you wants to do
the CVS->SVN conversion, just make sure to inform the developers when they
should pause making commits to CVS during the actual move.

Going back over the archives, Chris Lasher was most vocal in supporting 
the move, and there were a few other positive voices.

Speaking for myself, I have no strong desire either way, and I don't 
think Michiel objected either (except over the timing).  Then as now, we 
are hoping to get the next release out "shortly", so after that would be 
a good time to make the switch.

[I'm assuming we won't loose any revision history or comments, and that 
things like the web based ViewCVS and its RSS feed will still be available]
