I still think that CVS maintenance is the job of the programming project manager, not the SysAdmin.

The best sysadmins I've encountered have almost always come from a software or database developer background.

I disagree. Developers tend to have a certain short-sightedness when it comes to dealing with the scope of a company's IT operation. Hardware techs with exceptional inquistitiveness and troubleshooting capability are the ones I'd pick, but it's also clear that we, and our respective picks, would define "System Administrator" differently.
