    I don't know that cvsup would help so much.  Erm, I suspect a
    significant part of the from-cvs HTTP load (*not* FTP) was from me;
    I forgot to nuke my cron job when I got direct access to the
    repository, so it's been faithfully fetching it regularly.  Zapped.
    {blush}  That was through HTTP with Lynx, though, not FTP.

    How many people actually grab the CVS tarballhow often, and via what
    schemes?  Maybe it should be connexion-limited?
