Since setting up a CVS server requires more than just enabling & starting
the service, and since adding an xinetd dependency to cvs would annoy a
lot of people, I would suggest that we are better off without this. There
is not much distance between the amount of work necessary to create a new
/etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver file, and the amount of work necessary to edit
that file while setting up a pserver.
