There is no consensus for a full host switch, rather that is not at all an issue. However, there was strong desire to switch to a better versioning system, though mental had a point against subversion.
I assume there are no technical reasons against a separated cvs except conversion, but I simply have no experience with that so opinions on this issue are very welcome.
Now, a consensus on a versioning switch can only be reached if mental's argument against svn can be mollified. Mental, I thought you would look at the new systems that build upon svn and tell us if one of these solves the remaining problem for you.
Lastly, I would ask for opinions on if there should be a comprehensive overview of svn-based versioning systems being presented to the list to help reach a consensus, or is that consensus already existent, only pending mental's issue?
