Could you go into more detail about that? What would be so different
about a change from CVS to arch? My impression is that everything would
be the same, except that folks could make use of arch's additional
features. i.e. couldn't development continue in the same way it does
now, but with the addition of groups of developers working on their own
branches in private, before submitting changes to the core team?

Please post when you set up the FreeBSD arch repo. That will be a great
benchmark for tla.

Be well,
Zack
