I agree with your conclusions but not your premises <smile>. Many of  
the dvcs tools have been around for a long time (in software years),  
are used by zillions of people and work much better than CVS for lots  
and lots of use cases. OTOH, I no longer see the point of Subversion  
since it, at least, is not better enough than CVS.

If you do decide to move and do decide to use a DVCS, then I'd vote  
that we use git (I'm personally a big darcs fan but bit has much  
greater momentum, is "more" cross-platform and is building a bigger  
echo-system, ummm, ecosystem.) Other thoughts?
