Hi Daniel,

I don't want to seem impolite, but in my humble opinion, some (not all!) of your arguments may be nuanced. Here is what I think:
- CVS is good enough: agreed, even if I prefer SVN
- CVS is rock solid: yes, but in 2009 I think we can say SVN is rock solid too.
- Integrated with automated build system: I don't know... maybe SVN could do it too, but I'm unaware of the build system. However, if we manage to have a CMake build system, then we could easily have unit-tests and nightly/hourly automated builds with automatic reports (CTest/CDash). Is that you have?
- Cross-platform problems: I'm not a specialist, but I though SVN works on all platforms CVS does. Am I right?

My arguments in favor of SVN are:
- switching from CVS is very easy
- SVN+CMake+CDash may be a candidate tool chain

Conclusion: Why changing something that already works? Well... I think switching may be possible in the future, but not right now.
Well... in my opinion!
