Indeed.  Archiving CVS repositories is only a minor part of the problem as 
anyone familiar with the gborg migration will tell you.  Mailing lists, 
their archives, bug reports, file downloads, ... All that stuff has to be 
dealt with.  If we're never going to come up with an automated migration 
plan, then we at least need to allow time for people to do a manual 
migration or archival of what they feel is important to their projects. 
Unilaterally declaring that gborg will be shutdown with a 24 hour window 
doesn't seem reasonable.  I'm sure many interested parties aren't even 
subscribed to this list.

If you want to give up on automated migration, then we need a wider 
announcement, more time, and the readiness of pgfoundry admins to 
accomodate the needs of moving projects.
