I tend to agree. Unless:
* You have to continue using CVS for some reason.
* You expect to frequently need access to old versions and don't want
to have to resort to using CVS for such cases.
* Any other reason?
The second point might be significant if, for example, there is a
stable branch of the product in CVS and you don't want to keep using
CVS to maintain the stable branch.
In general, I suspect in most cases it is OK not to worry about
preserving the entire history.
