The usage of CVS as the OpenBSD version control system comes up once in a while on the mailing lists (usually brought up by trolls or people new to the community).

Many OpenBSD developers are used to CVS and don't see a strong reason to change to another system. However, they are aware of the deficiencies of CVS, and OpenCVS is supposed to fix some of them. For instance, atomic commits was on the roadmap (but I don't think it is implemented yet). You can also regularly see commit messages complaining about problems with CVS.

I know some OpenBSD developers use Git locally to track their patches before committing them to the official repository.
