It's not just the Wiki software that makes the Fedora Wiki
increasingly unpleasant to use. It's also the page layout and
structure. Somebody has had the brilliant idea to use tables with
narrow columns on the main pages, such as "Fedora Packaging". Not! --
Finding relevant pages is too difficult.

Nope. I've followed many of the related discussions, from early
evaluation of CVS for the Fedora Extras package collection to the
tiresome threads on fedora-maintainers list. The people who have tried
to replace cvs in favour of their own favourite scm/vcs, have yet to
agree.

Eh? I don't understand that sentence. There's nothing "internal" about
replacing the scm system that will affect hundreds of contributors.

That's what current /cvs/pkgs is all about. But there has been
/cvs/fedora for other projects, too.

"Maybe" is a guess. Several decisions on infrastructure changes come
from inside of Red Hat and are pushed through the Fedora Project Board
without resistance.

Uhm, the mailing-list archives (e.g. fedora-maintainers) disagree.

No.
