Hmm, I understand the sentiment, though that is exactly why I use LinCVS 
as a GUI front-end. It should also be observed that you can configure 
CVS to run scripts to sanitise input both during check-in and check-out, 
so you can in fact protect yourself against much mumbo-jumbo.

But yes, I do agree with the comment.
