It's still an annoyance, and being straightforward about it doesn't make it less so. I wish they'd understand that they are hindering every piece of Free Software out there that invokes CVS as its back-end. But since you or Martin already said that it's impractical to ask them to revert that annoyance, I'm suggesting to fix VC instead so that the official gnu.org ports could be used instead.
