Exactly.  I think it's premature to be talking about whether git is
better than hg or how stinky cvs really is.

We need to define what we want to achieve by moving to something else.
What new workflow do we want to enable?  Do we want to prioritize
cooperation with upstreams?  Do we want people to have private branches?
That can build to sandboxes?

What pie-in-the-sky can you come up with that the package SCM can do for
us?  Then we can come up with ways to implement them in the various
SCMs.  Without knowing what our priorities are, we'll forever know that
our present system "works" and any one of five new systems could be
"better".
