they are actually quite orthogonal and can coexist nicely. I feel
domains play on darcs strengths well, and give us something new that
other vcs's don't have. domains are actually a generally useful basic
tool and can be used for more than just subrepos. but for very large
subprojects, that you want to actually exist and distribute
independently then the 'subrepo' model could make more sense however it
is still just basic repo aggregation, not to say that isn't a very
useful feature too. there is no reason they couldn't both be
implemented. (at different times)
