I think our mileage varies wildly given that Bazaar and Python have
comfortable market-shares, whereas darcs is an underdog with precious
few contributors. Increasing the time to market for new features will
not be viable for developper motivation, nor for public relations: the
only way we can exist is if we show that innovation still exists in VCS
(with respect to the git/hg/bzr state-of-the-art), and that darcs is
where (some of it) happens. Otherwise, we might just as well polish
darcs-fast-export and all convert to one of the big three.
