This is more of a generic comment than a comment about this specific
case, but modules are useful for users (when the modules are kept up
to date, obviously).  "cvs get -c" can show you what's usefully
gettable in the repository, and modules can allow a certain amount of
directory mangling.  Some projects don't use modules at all, and so
when I look at their CVS repositories I'm at a loss as to what I
should get in order to have something that's buildable.

However, for big projects, pruning the modules file every few years
isn't a bad idea...
