I'd agree that it's still too early.

There's more to it than just converting the repo from CVS to SVN -
the "official" distribution and build systems have to be converted
as well. The official build system for RELENG_8 remains CVS and
(AFAIK) the "official" repo distribution system remains CVS-based
(csup/cvsup) because there's no suitable SVN-based equivalent.
IMHO, if those issues can be resolved in the near future then it
might be possible to deprecate CVS before 9.1 and remove it in 10 but
I suspect removal in 11 is a more realistic timeframe.

Agreed.
