In my prior work, the "better" CVS importers would not have stable
output, so were not appropriate for incremental imports.

And even the fastest ones were very slow on large repos.

That is why I am asking the question.

It won't magically disappear from your machine, and you have been warned. :-)

However, esr is making the case that git-cvsimport should stop using
cvsps. My questions are aimed at understanding whether this actually
results in proposing that an important feature is dropped.

Perhaps a better alternative is now available.
