Isn't this what this whole thread has been about? 
Paul has been saying that, although CVS has
weaknesses, it also has strengths, just like ClearCase
has weaknesses and strengths.  However, in theory, one
should be able to fix the weaknesses in open source,
but in practice, Paul has needed to fix and refix the
same things since, for one reason or another, the
fixes haven't been adopted by the standard release.
