If you are comfortable with CVS, then yes;  until we reach
"1.0", the best way to stay up with the CMF is to use CVS.
If you'd like to get the same stuff as in the "1.0alpha" tarball
(posted Friday to the "dogbowl" site), you can checkout / update
to the tag, 'CMF-1_0-base'.

That won't work -- the snapshots are not "CVS aware" (I make
snapshots by way of 'cvs export').

I strongly recommend using symlinks (where possible) from the
CMF sandbox / extract directory into the INSTANCE_HOME's Products
directory.  The combination of symlinks and INSTANCE_HOME lets
me manage multiple versions of both CMF and Zope, without undue
pain.
