Ease of transition for other automated tasks, perhaps? I don't know
what bits and pieces of infrastructure hang from the old BK-CVS
changeset distribution infrastructure.

Some projects do count on CVS gateways even if they use smarter SCMs.
This is not just because of licensing issues -- sometimes portability
and preexisting tools trump SCM changes.
