Certainly! For one thing, CVS does not allow for such easy rebases and merges as git, so someone has to read your patch carefully, make certain that it merges cleanly, and otherwise pay more attention. This may result in a slower pace, but also in less breakage and a larger shared understanding.
Nice! Yeah, CVS, I don't know much about it, but your comment reminds me I should check out things outside the git ken! They might just have valuable understandings I need to learn! Thanks for letting me know about it :)
