One of the main difficulties there was directly because of CVS. The
trunk had moved on (particularly in RedBoot's flash support), so there
was a lot of overhead to merging.

These merge headaches would be much less with a modern VCS, so it won't
be as scary to merge. Which is a big reason why people kept putting it off.

Clearly you're keen on distributed :-). I agree, but we'll discuss
elsewhere. I'll try and get a mail out today.
