IMO any option in the server side cvsrc should be *enforced* by the server.
I.e prevent client from commiting a change when a file is being reserved edited.

I can recompile (in theory anyway ;-) the client to ignore the servers cvsrc.
Or I am forced to 'go behind the back of' CVS and make my local files editable, 
losing the ability to unedit etc.  Nothing is gained by this result.
