While the distributed workflow might be a better approach for people 
starting with a clean slate, existing developers (and users who track 
CVS) do not necessarily have the time to invest in learning a new 
workflow immediately, and are looking for minimum disruption immediately 
after the switch from CVS to bzr. So there is definite value in an 
additional document describing a quick and painless transition from CVS, 
and probably a migration path to the distributed workflow for when the 
developer has time to adjust their habits.
