   I agree with your conclusions but not your premises <smile>. Many of  

Boy am I surprised ;-)

   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  

ah, I thought YOU were asking, I'm just a run-over bystander

   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?

Just one

Please leave a method for those folkes interested in a silly idea,
they just want to utilize the software, not master a rcvs system to
get it.  It used to be that a hyperlink to a tar file download was
pretty common, but recently those have disappeared.
Just include one.
