I know you may find it strange, but NetBSD has been using CVS since
~~1993 with no disruptions, and a number of the things you list have come
and gone. It's really only hg and git which have the critical mass to
ensure long-term survival, so it's a good thing NetBSD didn't switch to
arch or bzr. It is overdue to move to a DVCS, but the clamor of "we
have to switch to X because it's new and shiny" has to be fended off for
a while in order to have stability.
