Subject: Re: Why SVN?

While distributed version control systems offer some benefits, they're
still not really mainstream. Most developers are accustomed to the way
things are done in central repositories, and working offline is, with
the exception of maybe a short stint on a plane or train, not that
common nowadays. The benefits of darcs, etc. don't really justify the
effort that would need to be put into migrating the existent proven
infrastructure and potentially alienating some people who are put of
by the slightly esoteric nature of the alternatives. A clear case of
"if it ain't broke, don't fix it". That shouldn't keep you from
hosting your code in darcs though if you prefer.
