I'd like an OPTION to have decentralized(that's why I prefer svk)
other than that I don't mind it that much.

That's one HUGE advantage in my book but acctually though
I think it would set us back but then any would.

Still for grimoire related work I think a svn offshot like
svk would be usefull.


Basicaly with svk one get's the same issues/benefits as svn
with some added value(though the rather HUGE amount of perl
based dependencies is annoying I concider it mostly a non-issue).

Anyway I think we need the elders to decide this...

Picking a SCM should not be based on popularity/vote/lobbying but
on the tehnical aspects of the tool...

And of course ease of use(i.e. NOT getting in the way of the developer
a lot...)
