Doesn't an import of src.rpms into a new cvs server serve the
same purpose and make it easy enough to maintain packages that way?
It seems to work for FC and AFAIK also FE was setup that way without
much trouble, right?

The underlaying SCM should be a modular component to how a distribution
is built. Jesse is showing this by running now hg and git in addition to
the already working cvs...
