What sort of repository, and where it is located is completely
uninteresting to most of us; indeed it had better be because if you have
to care much it implies the tools aren't good enough. As long as it
works ok for all reasonable platforms and is accessible with something
we can write in squeak, who cares?

However, _right now_ cvs on Sourceforge has a killer advantage; it is
there, it works ok, we can access it easily, it has a working set of
code on it. Oh, and SF seems reasonably likely to be around
for a while and they do backups for us. Debating what _ought_ to be is
fine and good, but in this case it does not need to prevent profitable
use of what _is_ until what ought to be can be provided.
