The current number of developers is not significant - we're still talking 
centralised version control here.

When you've worked with Subversion a lot (as I have) being forced to use CVS 
again is definitely painful. Subversion has local change tracking, 
repository-wide versioning, easy reverts, and transactioned commits. These 
are things that you come to rely on and miss very much when they arent there. 
Not to mention that it is faster as well.

I'm suggesting the move because I think it makes development easier, and 
because the transition from CVS to Subversion is a fairly easy one - both in 
terms of usage and in converting the repository data.

Cheers,
Paul
