I don't think there's any demand to change in the question. I think
it's rather a statement of surprise since in the very vast majority of
cases more modern VCS are so much more convenient that it's hard to
imagine that the inertia is high enough to keep using CVS (or that
there may actually be reasons beside inertia).
