i can't tell you where to find info about that, i'm just able to tell 
you what i've heard from several people on irc.

cmfboard doesn't work like plone does, so breaks consitency and 
usability: the developer also didn't get that security is done by 
workflows not by properties and it explicitly doesn't use "more" 
integration into plone (checkin messages like "more work on removing 
dependency from plones styles" or something like that) - god knows why.

according to several people i know, the code it uses is really messy, 
even for a zope product ;) i have looked at it once but only a few 
templates, and i denied to clean it up, because it'd take longer than 
working on something new.

why not? i can't think of anything that'd break something - there are 
just some templates that need to be updated so they're conformant to 
the new styles. not a big deal, takes 20 mins.

as i said, it's only in cvs and there's no released version so i don't 
think someone gives an example. it beats CMFBoard in several things - 
integration, cleanness of code, more integration into Plone. But as i 
said, it doesn't use that feature bloat, however stuff like the mail 
forwarding is planned if i remember correctly.

i'm just a plone developer that suggests to "do things right".
