I still think that CVS maintenance is the job of the programming project 
manager, not the SysAdmin.

I disagree.  Developers tend to have a certain short-sightedness when it comes 
to dealing with the scope of a company's IT operation.  Hardware techs with 
exceptional inquistitiveness and troubleshooting capability are the ones I'd 
pick, but it's also clear that we, and our respective picks, would define 
"System Administrator" differently.
