I join in digressing: Another factor is "other upstream code starts to depend on it and it will be a royal pain to patch things up to work without systemd, as we cannot easily keep up with the development pace and its hunger for functionality". Personally, I fear that basically every distro will have to ship it to support the expected userspace software stack eventually. > So far *BSDs are not bitten by the systemd bug (at least to the > extent I know).

I would like to put less emphasis on that (as do you, I presume), but don't ignore technical reasons why something is more popular. Heck, I'm not arguing that pkgsrc must switch git, but you cannot ignore that at least Subversion brings lots of workflow improvements over CVS already. Granted, the lightweight working copy is one point that SVN lacks. I am actually intrigued by this recent discussion about CVS (I never imagined that I would look at CVS features still in 2015) to push for SVN supporting that. I would ship my release tarballs with a .svn folder for most easy access to the repository, just like pkgsrc does.
