I must say that I also (strongly) dislike CVS. Subversion is clearly 
superior to CVS, especially if you want to keep several branches (stable 
and development releases for example) and port changesets from one 
branch to the other. It also makes both commits and checkouts atomic 
operations (which CVS doesn't) and makes a specific revision number 
consistent throughout the whole repository (which CVS can only do if you 
tag each commit).

So even if bug tracker, release distribution and mailinglists are used 
on sourceforge, I would definately prefer a subversion repository to be 
used for development, even though it currently can't be hosted on 
sourceforge.
