Yeah, probably. Another difficulty is that our own archives are not the
only places those messages are archived.
It occurred to me that instead of an actual CVS server, we could
possibly have a simple redirector at anoncvs.postgresql.org, which would
redirect the diff links to suitable views into the gitweb. But it's
still a lot of work compared to just keeping the old server alive.
