And bzr? Mercurial? (I know at least some would be interested in using
bzr, and I even remember some discussion about it on #gnome-hackers)

This would encourage developers to use non-central repositories, thus
making work of non-developers (think translators, artists,
documentors) much harder.  In other words, GNOME "subprojects" would
not be able to work with those other repositories as easily as with
the main CVS/SVN one.

And where do we draw the line?

Cheers,
