The main reason I will never use b*tkeeper is because I want to retain the freedom to do that, something that you and many others won't be able to do anymore. But note that cvs+cvsps is already perfectly usable for me, most people is readonly anyways, and if you would checkin into cvs instead of b*tkeeper I couldn't notice any difference (except that I could send you a patch to add the email at the top of the cvs log). So from my part, using cvsps is just good enough and I've no idea why you call it "unusable" (just as example see the two patches I extracted in a second, in the old days I certainly couldn't do that). There's a chance cvsps is even more friendly than b*tkeeper for my common usages.
