I dunno if anyone else has seen these: 
<http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/DarcsEvaluation> (and 
<http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/6u3zm/ghc_developers_plan_to_migrate_from_darcs/>.

"On the 23rd July 2008 an IRC meeting on the #ghc channel decided to make a 
serious effort to replace Darcs, due to all the problems described above. The 
logs of that meeting are available in full at 
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/attachment/wiki/IRC_Meetings/ghc-metting-2008-07-23.log,
 but the main conclusions were:

    * The GHC developers have sufficient problems with Darcs that a change 
would be beneficial"
...
"Disadvantages to staying with darcs:

    * Uncertain future: no critical mass of hackers/maintainers. The technical 
basis is not well enough understood by enough people.

Reason for elimination: persistent performance and algorithmic problems, see 
above."
