What issues are you having with CVS that you are finding a need for this 
change?   Unless specific issue(s) are trying to be resolved, why 
introduce the potential headache(1)?  Even if you have a list of issues 
that you would like to have resolved, it is harder to come up with a 
list of currently used features/ methods that might not exist in the 
replacement tool. Good luck. :)

But in any case, to throw my vote in the ring - I personally prefer the 
CVS' GUI client options over Subversion's, which makes all of the 
difference for me.  Although as a casual hacker on the code, it really 
isn't going to matter whether you use CVS or Subversion or something 
else to me.  I think this is a choice for the main developers to make, 
as to what suites their needs.
