In other words, I should configure my client to use

	rsync://anoncvs.netbsd.org/cvsroot

instead of the old rsync://rsync.netbsd.org/anoncvs/main ?

Also, the anoncvs server tends to be more closely synchronised to the
real master cvs server.  In my experience, CVS commits are almost always
available from the anoncvs server by the time I read the email sent to
the source-changes list; whereas it usually takes several hours, and
sometimes more than 24 hours, for them to be available from the old
rsync.netbsd.org server.
