More to the point is the argument that:  "CVS is not the time-saving tool that
a Wiki or other CMS with web-based editing is."

In other words, CVS is better than what we have now, but not as good as a CMS.
If we're going to adopt new technology for the site(s), it makes sense to
adopt the technology that gives us the most output for the least work, don't
you?

And a corellary argument:   "Josh Berkus is willing to admin Techdocs and
possibly other sites (Jobs.postgresql.org?) provided that they are based on a
CMS.   If these sites a managed by CVS, someone else will have to volunteer."
