Yes, this is right. And also there would be a price to pay in lost productivity in switching to a new system. To those very familiar with CVS and not very familiar with Git (or hg, et al), the benefits of switching are nebulous and uncertain, while the cost is very real. Over time, OpenBSD has done things that were in the "no, never, just go away" category just a few years before. I would not be too surprised if OpenBSD switched to a DVCS in the future, when it's a well considered switch and not a headlong rush into "the next new thing." To those of us who see the benefits of DVCS it's frsutrating to wait, but OpenBSD has avoided many pitfalls by being conservative. In the meantime, OpenBSD uses CVS, and it's workable.
