Of course it is relevant.  AFAIU, Stefan M argued that it's *not very
important*, not that it shouldn't be supported at all.  To determine
if it is important or not, the questions I asked are exactly the ones
that need to be answered.

Actually, I could rephrase it: Is there any Emacs Lisp package out
there that use CVS?  I don't know of any, myself.

I don't think anyone wants to do that.  I wrote that in my previous message.
