I started to use a distributed VCS for my work, and I like it. I can
set up a repo and make changes anywhere, and later push them anywhere
else.

However, for a larger project which you publish for everybody to see
and check out a more centralized workflow is needed. Only one repo is
the published "official" one.

Sure, but when you are used to centralization, and want it anyway
there is no gain in distributed VCS.
