Normally not my cup of coffee entering a threat on which VCS we should
use, I honestly can't see why we didn't choose another over SVN when
we had a year long discussion about it. I remember Rasmus said that
when we change version control system: "it better last another 10
years" like CVS did.

I can't see why we can't offer mirrors that can be written to and
synced for people who absolutely cannot work inside a centralized
system like our current model. I would really, really hate to
re-install and re-configure my whole development environment and the
why I develop because we simply cannot get along with a system that
had the majority of the voting back then, which I'm deadly against.
It's just like here in Denmark where people said no to the Euro
currency and the politicians wants to have more votings because they
did not get their will last time. Okay maybe thats a bit over the line
of what we have here, but I honestly don't see that religious hate
against this model which works absolutely fine.
