Having an active upstream is usually good. Though it would mean for me as
a Fedora maintainer a lot of work with rebasing the Fedora patches to the n=
ew
upstream version.

1.11 was a stable branch, 1.12 was a developmental branch. Fedora stays
on the stable branch. If there was new upstream relase declared as
a stable release, Fedora would probably rebase to it.

I have never looked deeply into 1.12.13. Fedora's patches for 1.11.23 are
fixes for 1.11.23. I have no idea whether somobody merged them into 1.12.13.

I'm personally not interested in developing CVS. I merely keep it alive for
Fedora users. Whenever I hear about CVS it is from RHEL users who want it E=
PEL
repositories. So I guess there is a legacy demand to some extend.
