A very interresting article on the subject : why bitkeeper and arch are not so good for open source :

http://web.mit.edu/ghudson/thoughts/bitkeeper.whynot


That's just spreading FUD -- arch (or bitkeeper for that matter) do not prohibit using a centralized tree with multiple committers, this is, in fact, done by a couple of projects, for example MoinMoin. That article makes it seem as though you actually have to decentralize development when using arch, but that's not true at all. Think of it as a more convenient method of shuffling patches around to the committers, no more patches in email :) Whether then the statements in the article are true remains to be seen (I mean -- is decentralized really bad), but that's not actually interesting in the context of arch/bitkeeper vs. svn/cvs.

Anyway this is really off-topic here (now) as the project has decided on a system. I'll invite anyone who wants to discuss this to do so privately (or suggest another mailing list where it is on-topic, I already suggested gnu-arch-users)
