Why replace CVS with Bazaar?
Note we have now moved to using git with Github.
CVS is old technology which doesn't easily support merging (nor even folder renames)
Merging is a common requirement for Sahana where most development occurs in deployment branches & currently never makes it back to trunk.
It is also relevant to GSoC where merges are done in a very manual, painful process.
Using a Distributed Version Control System can be a great benefit for our Project:

Bzr is simple to use for people familiar with CVS (or SVN) & supports Launchpad:
