Mmm... to be fair, there's one thing local mode sometimes has that
running a server doesn't: MIS support.  Especially if you want your CVS
repository somewhere that's backed up, given that the server should be
accessing local filestore, not networked.  In a large or paranoid
organisation, getting authority to run such a beast on supported
hardware can be difficult.
