FESCo IIRC (there was no public summary of the meeting afaik) agreed on 
the FUDCon 2007 meeting to discourage the use of cvs-import and thus 
remove the section that describes its use from the wiki (e.g. 
http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/UsingCvsFaq ). The discussion 
further settled on "it would be nice if someone improves the cvs-import 
script to force users to look at a diff before the import. But if nobody 
works on this lets ignore the problem for a little bit longer, as we 
probably get a new VCS in less then one year anyway -- when doing that 
switch make sure users get a diff presented".

Is that roughly correct? If yes: is there anything else that needs to be 
discussed?

Or did I miss anything?
