Using a decentralized VCS this is no longer a problem, since there is no master repository anymore. So if yours goes down, people can still continue to work. All that would be broken is the checkout links on the website. If we do not dare to move to git directly, I'd be all for going to SVN. It would be an improvement at least. But considering that many FG developers already use it, the much increased fail safety, local committing, easier patch sharing and improvements for model developer groups like AJ mentioned and quite a few more advantages, I think we should really make an effort to go all the way.
