There's no useful way to grep the CVS repository for a version that had some specific text, especially if you don't remember the text accurately enough, and there's no record in anything like "cvs annotate" for when some text was deleted. Checking out version after version looking for something I remember only vaguely is not my idea of fun. So resurrecting it will not be easy. Therefore, I'd like to be reasonably sure no one wants it back for quite some time. I hope you understand and don't object.
