From what I see, shout-irc does not allow you to stay connected on IRC channels when you are offline or close your browser.

Seriously, it does not make any sense to say that systemd is a "Windows" approach.

I'm not blaming CVS as an excuse, because as I said, I didn't plan to review it anyway.

It does make code review difficult, for all the reasons I gave. And I've seen several people who try review it complain about that too.
Why not ? I could imagine them giving money to OpenSSH developers at least, seeing how it is part of the core infrastructure.
Also, would you have imagined Microsoft giving money to an organization named "Linux Foundation" ?
Why not ?
With CVS, the security rely on the security of a single server. Anybody with root access to the CVS server can modify history, and nobody would notice.
- CVS commits are per file. You can't see changes made by a single commit to multiple files.
- CVS cannot rename files. You have to create a new file and remove the old one. So you cannot follow history of the changes.
- CVS is really slow. You cannot clone the repository locally, so it takes a few seconds to show any change, whereas git shows you any commit and logs instantly. And you can't do it offline (for instance if you need to spend a few hours in a train).
- git log / show / diff is so much better than cvs log / diff.
- you can't use things like git blame
- they've lost all openssl.org history. If they were using git, they could have cloned the openssl git repository, and add their commits on top, keeping all history (which is often very useful when you're trying to understand why something has been done like this, or who introduced some change).
I'm not an openssl expert, so I didn't plan to review their changes anyway. But if I had to, using CVS would be the most annoying thing.
There is actually more lines of perl than shell if we exclude tests:

Except when they decide they want to keep logs.
