Then what will be the primary way to track NetBSD src and pkgsrc trees?

Now it's CVS, mirrored to git.  What will replace CVS, will it be git, hg, or something else, and will it be in the base system, or will it have to be built or pkg_add'ed from pkgsrc?

Is it a matter of CVS being less secure?  I see that OpenBSD, the great security-minded OS, still uses CVS, mirrored on Github.
