Several of the core developers are already using distributed version control systems to manage their activities. Git, for example, has very good SVN integration, and it is possible to work on a daily basis with a Git repository but make public commits to an SVN repository. I believe Mercurial has similar tools. However, there are no plans in place to migrate the official Django repository to any distributed version control system. The very nature of an 'official' repository dictates that there must be a single canonical checkout; SVN already provides this facility. The very fact that you are have to ask "which DVCS system should I use" also points to a problem - without a clear winner, any decision will inevitably shut out a portion of the community. For all its problems, SVN remains a reliable lingua franca. Please note: This is not an invitation to try and convince the core developers to change our mind. The core developers are well aware of the benefits and limitations of distributed version control, we have considered the options, we have made our decision for the moment, and we're not looking for community feedback on the decision.
