I think the Fedora CVS tree should not be canonical upstream for
projects.  If you want to create a fork of something, add a new
project to fedorahosted.org, code.google.com, launchpad.net, your
personal server, whatever.

If you structure your fork as a revision-controlled tree, not only can
you easily merge with upstream, if upstream decides to merge with you
(which is what you want, right?) it's easier than trying to extract
stuff from our CVS repository.
