I'm not in any way FreeBSD dev, but looks like yes, it goes away. In
fact last time I fetched sources using cvsup they were outdated and my
understanding is that cvsup was getting the files from cvs repo.

Subversion has a tool to automatically convert cvs repos to
subversion. I believe that's how FreeBSD was converted.
