No one has asked about cvsup in a long time. We have csup integrated and

    are in the process of moving away from CVS so this doesn't really matter
    anyways.

-	<question id="cvsup-in-base">
-	  <para>Why is <application>CVSup</application> not integrated
-	    in the main &os; tree?</para>
-	</question>
-
-	<answer>
-	  <para>The &os; base system is designed as self-hosting &mdash;
-	    it should be possible to build the whole operating system
-	    starting with a very limited set of tools.  Thus, the actual
-	    build tools needed to compile the &os; sources are bundled
-	    with the sources themselves.  This includes a C compiler
-	    (&man.gcc.1;), &man.make.1;, &man.awk.1;, and similar
-	    tools.</para>
-
-	  <para>Since <application>CVSup</application> is written in
-	    Modula-3, adding it to the &os; base system would also require
-	    adding and maintaining a Modula-3 compiler.  This would lead
-	    to both an increase in the disk space consumed by the &os;
-	    sources and additional maintenance work.  Thus, it is much
-	    easier for both the developers and users to keep
-	    <application>CVSup</application> as a separate port, which
-	    can be easily installed as a package bundled on the &os;
-	    installation CDs.</para>
-
-	  <para>However, &os; users are not without an integrated
-	    <application>CVSup</application> compatible client anymore
-	    since &os;&nbsp;6.2-RELEASE.  Thanks to &a.mux;,
-	    <application>CVSup</application> was rewritten in C as
-	    &man.csup.1; and it is the part of the base system by now.
-	    Although it does not implement all the features of
-	    <application>CVSup</application> at the moment, it is good
-	    enough (and really fast!) to keep your sources synchronized.
-	    For systems earlier than 6.2, it can be installed as a port
-	    or package (see <filename
-	      role="package">net/csup</filename>).</para>
