Or, how about:  ``Some ports don't have USB busses, therefore no port
should.''  Or beter yet, ``some machines are diskless, therefore all
disk support should be removed.''

It seems to me that just because some ports can't run CVSup doesn't
mean that we should ignore it fully.  Put up a server in parallel with
the sup, and hopefully anonymous cvs server.  It isn't like we're
restricting information, just the way to get it.

This whole argument against it is silly.
