Fortunately, CVS got just a couple of days ago enough VERIFY votes
that the update can be published, so there is no dire need at this
point.
Whether you'd _really_ need CVS depends a lot on whether you have
a lot of systems to manage which you need to manage in a systematic
manner (e.g., by keeping a local repository of configuration file
changes, etc.).
But for testing purposes, it would be sufficient to take a development
project, for example Fedora Core
[http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/core.shtml], and check out something
from there (the page has emacs as an example). That allows you to
play with cvs a bit.
