It is not prefered. Just moving from one system to another is an
enormous task with something as big as the NetBSD repository - and when
the repository was created, many of todays alternatives did not yet
exist.

We will be moving from cvs to mercurial some time real soon, and from
there other formats (like git) are easily (and instantly) available.

Of course you can (for read-only access) use the git mirror now already
(with a small delay of a few hours caused by the transformation process).
