Oh I know, I'm aware of that, it was more of a joke.  Some people use
CVS in a very carefree manner (shared bitbucket) and aren't really too
worried about breaking old versions.  Why do they use CVS then?  Good
question ... because it's there, I suppose.

Of course this is one of the main weaknesses in CVS, in case anyone out
there thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread: no revision control
on directories (folders/containers/collections/whatever).  =)
