CVS still works just as well as it ever did, but it is super crusty at this point. If an open source project hasn't transitioned off of it, that's a sign to me that the maintainer either doesn't know any modern DVCSes, or doesn't care about the project enough to transition to them.
It's not a guarantee that the project is dead or outdated, but it's a smell.
Of course, I consider still being hosted on Sourceforge to also be a smell.
