Good question. Most cvs stuff I have seen over there was raised in the
freebsd-questions mailing list... but then I am not a heavy subscriber
to those lists at present. Peter Wemm has done most of the last merges
of cvs releases into the FreeBSD tree, so I suppose you could ask him
for a good forum on the FreeBSD side of the house.

For now, I'll just consider the CVS_PID feature to be on hold. Should I
file an issue to hold the latest version of the patch in case anyone
wants it?
