afaik, it is (probably it was checked in within the last 6 hours)
at least: `pd -version` shows "0.40-0test7" with a checkout i did just now.

there are no other public repositories for vanilla pd (afaik).

a lot of work in pd is done not directly via CVS, but in a
single-programmer environment. the changes are then checked into the
repository on an irregular basis (usually getting more frequent when a
release approaches).

please also note, that "PD devs" could mean several things:

a) people working on vanilla pd; this is currently Miller (though he is
usually accepting patches from the patch-tracker)
b) people working on pd-branches (pd-devel, desiredata); this is tim,
matju, thomas grill, carmen and probably some others
c) people writing externals, or patches, or documentation, or packaging
systems, or something else, which they want to share; this is by far the
biggest crowd
