AFAIK, there were a lot of issues to avoid taking any decision.
At the end of the day, the sysadmins team (in particular Olav) will need
to deal with it and they requested information for different topics.
And none of the DVCS were solving that issues.

So, it was in the hands of every dvcs supporter to fix those issues.

I think it is a matter of which one is ready (and friendly) from a gnome
sysadmin's point of view.

If you would like to know which are those issues, you can take a look at
http://live.gnome.org/DistributedSCM and try to solve them for whichever
is your favourite DVCS :-)
