I _am_ a release manager these days, and I'm in favour of svn. I really want to be off CVS, and I would love to be able to go with something more sophisticated than svn. Unfortunately, I really don't think any of the alternatives are appropriate. While Perforce is definitely capable, the Bitkeeper disaster strongly influence me against relying on the generosity of a commercial software vendor who could change their mind at any time. The more radical (and powerful) tools such as baz/bzr, darcs, monotone and the like really aren't there yet. I have no doubt that they will get there, but right now, I want something better than CVS, and I don't want to have to fight bugs or limitations in the revision control system. By the way - if you're intending on suggesting alternates to svn, please don't just post a link saying "check out this system". Post an explanation of _why_ we should look at this particular system. What's it's strengths? Why should we invest the time to download it and play with it? Speaking for myself, I don't have the time or energy to spend trying the countless numbers of revision control systems that are out there.
