https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.team/issues/8 and
https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.team/commit/7592b18cbbb95c47723044805933c3d4298306fb
are where the removal of CVS plugins took place. Anyone interested can
fetch the parent commit
https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.team/commit/160248690da26615c80fc2e7342e4109f232452e
and get the org.eclipse.team.cvs* folders to fork from.

Well, I don't think it's a matter of opinion here, but a matter of
definition. When Eclipse Project says "API" in its retention policy, it
clearly doesn't say "UX".

support to check out a CVS project.

That's why the removal was announced way ahead of the actual removal, so
that people who presumably cared enough could tell and ask for another
process or some delay if necessary. But no-one did.
