CVS/ and .svn are quite different. SVN stored a lot of stuff in .svn (including a copy of every file which has been checked out). This will mean that we are shipping 100M+ releases, just so people can patch easily. I think if people are hacking on phpgw - for the project or privately, they should be able to use svn. For an end user with shared hosting downloading a nightly build tarball and ftp'ing to their hosting is easier than trying to explain svn to them. The discussion in the context of cvs and svn are very different.
