It amounts to same thing if you're an outsider looking in, especially
when those outsiders are already well enamoured with CVSup and know the
cost they would pay for going back to a more primitive update system.

In real life things don't always work that way, thankfully.  From other
correspondence I've had I would guess that the M3 community would gladly
welcome new ports and given their previous track record in making sure
all ports are maintained with new releases, I don't think we'd end up
with the situation you're hypothesising.
