What a fitting last file.

Is OpenBSD seriously still using CVS for development?
- Yeah, that's weird. It's pretty unorthodox to use a pharmacy chain for development.
  
  To be fair, they have a pufferfish as a mascot, so there's bound to be some need for pharmaceuticals.
- CVS is the authoritative repository of code, and they recommend to users to use that or reposync (built atop of CVS) to keep their system updated.
  There is also a GitHub mirror , and got is an OpenBSD project, and I suspect a number of devs use one of those for local work until it's time to push the changes to the authoritative tree.
- Yes, it is, because it does the job. Why exactly shouldn’t they?
  
  For example, maybe branching is something you'd like to be able to do without it being a nightmare?
- They can work on replacing that next

Reminds me of the GNU/HU(I)RD.
