Who?  Brand new users?  Old-timers??  With the lack of posts here, I'd
guess it's beginners, and you only hear about failures from them.
Once I got slime working, I've never had a problem from CVS that
wasn't immediately cleared up - i.e., no loss of opportunity to code
Lisp.

Getting it from CVS is simple, is easily automated, and is the most
'up-to-date'.  I'm strongly in favor of minimizing the workload on
devs.
