already).
If an SCM comes along so compelling in its feature set that it
convinces the Postgres committers to abandon CVS, I don't think anyone
will complain about having to use it =)
Seriously though, I think the main impetus for having these mirrors is
that developers don't want to work with CVS. If the master repos was
upgraded to a modern SCM, the importance of having mirrors would
dwindle.
