Comment(by dustin):

 I think that a deprecation is a good idea.   Please also add it to the
 NEWS section, and ask users of the old class to contact the mailing list
 if they would like to see the old classes stick around.

 As for Change attributes - 'properties' would be a good addition, and as
 far as I can see 'repository' is not set, either.

 Before you work on that, though, I'm working on some changes that I have
 pushed to
   http://github.com/djmitche/buildbot/commits/bug959

 In particular:
  * rename BuildbotCVSMaildirSource to CVSMaildirSource (since the
 "Buildbot" part is redundant within Buildbot itself)
  * use Python's optparse (available since python-2.3) instead of manually
 parsing arguments

 At the moment, the tests are passing even though the optparse stuff fails,
 so I need to figure out what's wrong with the tests, and then fix the
 optparsing.
