For you or for the core team? I think Ton and Andreas are not 
comfortable using CVS instead of GIT which makes backporting unified 
diffs the main problem. Like sending patches and applying them. No

we can hear what Ton and Andreas think about that decision...

environment for deploying applications. Does it make network security 
easier or more difficult to achieve? Read this whitepaper to separate the 
two and get a better understanding.
