Time to get the initial pull is too long, mostly.  Also, having the
policy branch stuff will be good, if nothing else because it'll mean
having 1.0 out, in turn meaning UI stability, etc.  And getting Markus'
work on the CVS import will be good too (I haven't tried converting
Postgres' entire CVS repo in a while, and that certainly is a must).

I don't think we're going to get a one-shot migration, so Cristof's work
on CVS takeover would be really nice to have so that some of us can
create an "alternative" repo and cater for those that will continue to
use CVS for a while.
