And I am not afraid to admit I am one of those people (even though xorg moved to git, xkeyboard-config is still CVS-based and it will remain so unless CVS repo is going to be disbanded).
Please do not judge VCS by pure technical merits. Please remember that first of all VCS has to be comfortable for people who would work with it. SVN is comfortable for people with CVS background, this is most important and IMHO killer argument. Splitting GNOME between various VCSes is arguably the worst thing you could do to GNOME. After you'd do this - say goodbye to the quality translation and documentation. At least till you propose some reliable solution which would hide the multiplicity of VCSes behind some abstraction level (again, with minimal learning curve). Just my 0.02.
