However, it was simply an offer. I'm not the person for discussing
politics. If you think sources.redhat.com is a good starting point
for a reliable CVS repository, ok. If not, it's ok, too.

Do whatever you want, but spare the list with endless discussions
about "politics", "name pollution", "bad and ugly companies" and
similar. This is already hit to death on gnu.misc.discuss.
