What's wrong with having a single CVS and building up a web of trust
between developers like any other good free software project? This is
where a model like GNOME [and KDE] wins hands down over anything like
sourceforge or java.net - lots of people work on the same code base
[everyone from translators to usability, documentation and
accessibility] and this a huge bonus to creating a relatively cohesive
and tight knit community. Less control, sure, but the potential for
something a lot better.
