We really need to move to a dvcs for development sooner rather than later. It's been a year since the decision was made. I understand that it will suck for Windows developers in the short term, but with all the discussion about the PSF paying for pdo infrastructure work, I think getting us off of Subversion would have the most immediate positive impact for development of Python. If the EOL issue is the holdup, what can we do *right now* to break that logjam? Can't the PSF pay somebody to make this happen? -Barry
