That's what tags and branches are for!  *Please* use CVS the way it was
meant to be used, don't use it like some old SCCS system!

It's now close to impossible to track these things.  cvs co -c doesn't show
the modules either, without keeping *very* close tracking of the mailing
list we won't even know what we should/can use.

Sigh.  What *for*?  See above, that's why CVS has branches and tags which
makes it easy for users to:
a) See what's in there (cvs status -v)
b) Switch between versions with ease and with minimal bandwidth
c) Keep several versions locally (copy a tree and switch to other branch or 
   rev.)
