Not always. That may give some clues about which criterias they use to decide "what's right to have" and "what's wrong to have".
Knowing that: they use CVS, consequently they may adhere to traditions rather than reason, consequently NetBSD may be a bad choice^W^W not as perfect as i want it to be.

Well, in case CVS is as obsolete as i know. Not intending to start an holywar here...

Also, maybe it's just contributors afraid to propose using modern DVCS like Mercurial, GIT, Fossil... Though that does not explain why EdgeBSD forked from it, goals of these two projects do not seem to be contradictory. Maybe community is unable to find out what it thinks as a whole then.

Perhaps my perfectionism over what i use is a problem, too.
