I agree. A clean switch from cvs read/write to svn read/write plus cvs
read only sounds the least problematic!

However, how will links to cvs be dealt with? Links on Bioperl could be
switched over to point to svn, but what about possible links from
external sources? Maybe a more generic approach of redirection could
work? Or a simple warning page stating the fact that we have moved from
cvs to svn and provide a common link to follow?
