Why isn CVSNT supported?

The reason CVSNT isn’t supported is because traditionally its development effort has been smaller and has lagged behind that of CVS Linux, thus its quality tends to be of issue. Our experience is that every new version of CVSNT has subtle bugs which are specific to it, while as CVS Linux has been comparatively and consistently solid. We fix CVSNT bugs where time permits but we don’t include it in our test passes for reasons above. In general those who are ‘serious’ about it choose CVS Linux for reliability (eg. eclipse.org), which at that scale (e.g. corporate code storage) warrants a dedicated machine anyway with an appropriately chosen OS. If the community feels that a greater CVSNT effort is warranted, then this would be an excellent avenue for community contribution.
