There might be a way to migrate the CVS off SF. This is work in
progress, and I doubt it will happen before Python 2.3 is released (we
can't migrate repositories in the middle of a beta release
cycle). OTOH, SF has promised that they will add new hardware to CVS
in August, so the problem will go away one way or the other. At the
moment, I doubt there is much we can do.

So no, it won't have a bad effect in the long term.
