I don't classify this as "stupid"; it's not unreasonable for
centrally maintained services to claim certain special entries in the
namespace for their own use.
It's also irrelevant, since the cvsadmin moira group is in active use
and isn't going anywhere.
If you have further comments to add, I'd appreciate it if they
addressed my proposal to make the cvs in the gnu locker not check for
the user being a member of the cvsadmin group.
