Those of you who haven't already read "Version Control and 'the 80%'" should do so (http://blog.red-bean.com/sussman/?p=79) *before* forming your opinion on centralized version control.
Interesting read, especially the paragraph about: "In a nutshell: with a centralized system, people are forced to collaborate and review each other's work; in a decentralized system, the default behavior is for each developer to privately fork the project.".
Anyway. Before flaming each others, please bear in mind that the decision remains in our hands, at Kitware. I won't speak for Bill or Ken on this specific issue, but the *vast* majority of our projects is hosted on CVS, and the rest on SVN. There is only a handful of contributors to CMake, and one of the most efficient distributed technology they use is actually known as "walking to someone's office"; *if* the CMake repository ever switches to a different versioning system, I would be personally surprised it is a distributed one.
