As I said, CVSNT has been exceptionally stable for me, doesn't require setting up SSH or PuTTY, and in the past (not recently) I used it's server features. So yes, I can switch, but I'm not sure why I should. CVSNT is still free, after all. Adding an ad to a message and providing a way to avoid it can hardly be reason enough to consider it non-free. Anyway, what do you propose about the [non-Emacs-developer] users' out there, for which this whole -m/-M issue will be an inconvenience? It's not like they're guilty of using proprietary software.
