We've been using CVS for 8 years (give or take).  Another two weeks is 0.4% of 
that time.

We can wait another two weeks.

I should also point out that switching VCSs is a major rather major event, so 
will be rather historic not just for the KDE project but also the subversion 
project.  It is in our best interest to do it right not just for ourselves, 
but to form a model for others projects to switch, which will help SVN 
improve and thus help the kde project indirectly.

I propose we all stop talking about it until Ossi announces that he's 
finished :)

P.S. Apologies for the verbosity

P.P.S., yes, I still think we should wait a year before switching to svn...
