Someone might say they want to check out an old release with the module,
but ...

I suggest the more radical step of removing most or all of the modules.
They don't relate to the release/snapshot tarballs, and never have (those
have always been determined by the release/snapshot scripts), and aren't
particularly useful given that cvs update -d doesn't work with modules,
and have not been documented. (We have never attained consensus on
getting rid of the modules, though.)
