But it's not ready yet. csup is a rewrite of cvsup in C. So it's not a replacement like portsnap is, it's just a different implementation of the same procedure. >> Why would one want to replace cvsup?

For *me* the main reason to use portsnap was, that it is able to fetch updates if the only way to get something from the outside is http (e.g. via a caching proxy). This doesn't matter at home (where I use both: portsnap to update where I don't need to modify the ports collection, and cvsup+cvs for ports collection where I make changes). None of those reasons where outlined in the (removed) paragraph. So I think the question is valid.
