In this regard, I would also like to see some non-fanatics evaluating the
various proposed SCMs as well. I recognize the value of having proactive
advocates for particular SCMs putting it's best foot forward, but those who
are advocating a particular platform tend to gloss over it's weak points
(like myself w/Drupal -- everybody has their pet projects they like to
promote). Having some objective person or people invlolved would be very
valuable in having a clear idea of what we would be getting into with a
particular SCM.

That would be fine with me, since Drupal uses CVS for their SCM. It would
mean I would only have to learn one system. :^)
