Well, I don't have any preferences really. I've used very nearly
everything except probably darcs. I tend to use Git for my own
projects, but I'm happy with SVN just as well.

So it looks like we can move to SVN right now, and later, if DVCS
becomes a requirement, we can migrate again. I think I still have
admin access at SF. If nobody else volunteers, I'll request repository
migration.
