3. it is extremely convenient that pkgsrc and wip are under the same
revision control software. the learning curve is small and this is
always a good thing, especially for new users.

one small usage example is that if wip were in !cvs, the convenience
of having "cvs update" in pkgsrc/ also update the wip/ directory would
be lost. that's a reasonable downside, imho.

are there any compelling enough reasons to do it, such that the
advantages outweigh the disadvantages? if not, I don't see why it's
worth it. I know it's what all the "cool kids" seem to be doing, but
that's not reason enough for us I don't think.

"if it ain't broke, ..." :)
