I believe you missed the point. Many aircraft are not in the CVS for a variety of reasons(1)(2)(3), and much developement work has been done on aircraft while flying on the current multiplayer servers. I personnaly loathe the concept that someone has to vet and install every change I want to make to an aircraft I'm developing if I want to fly it with/against other people. I'm also concerned this seems to be a move away from everyone being on one (or two) large multi-player networks (which makes syncing FDMs even harder). So no more watching others fly on mpmap software...
