Yeah, it should be kept for a few weeks as read-only thing so work in
progress can be synced and people can verify there were no migration
errors and stuff, I thought this discussion was more about a long-time
perspective and there CVS should be shut down, details should be part of
a migration concept, so let's find a good structure first before we open
the next discussion - there's enough stuff to do :-)
