I agree - and it makes it a hell lot more difficult to trace changes and
the influence of these changes to existing code. When involving many
deveopers spread around the world - CVS becomes very essential to other
developers in the spirit of checking code with changes made by other
developers.

CVS is actually working as a developer-community and more important as a
documentation of all minor/major changes - making it a lot easier to
backtrace introduced bugs and resolving those.

So my conclusion: when developers ain't sitting around in the same
office or building - CVS is essential to successfull development and
bug-tracing/solving and it's really worth the trouble of maintaing
"branches" - making it possible for everyone to see changes. So it's a
bad idea to skip CVS and everyones staring to develop new features /
making code more efficient in their own versions - making it a hell lot
more dificult to merge all those versions in the end...

So let's keep the development visible to all in CVS and let it help in
keeping the development-team together and focused on the same goal :-)))
