The problem is that tools to do these conversions are just not quite
there yet and, well:
640M    /cvs/xorg

Right now everyone knows CVS and can work with it. Getting everyone who
uses X over to arch (which involves switching the X.Org, fd.o
xlibs/xapps/xserver, DRI and possibly XFree86 repositories) is a *lot*
of work, and something that needs to be planned a long time before it
happens, involve everyone, and have a couple of people dedicated to the
task.

We fail on the last point alone (I don't have the time, and I don't
think anyone else does).
