I would like to have several DVCS for ubuntu development as we do in debian. We all have personal preference, and there's a main principle which says "working as a team, try to not make people fight their own tools", which for me means fighting against Git, and for other devs fighting against hg, monotone, etc. Also, I'm not blind to the advantage of centralizing stuff and making working on random packages easier because you're always using Bazaar (or whatever the VCS will eventually be). So, I might propose to have a voting on which VCS system we will use for our centralized approach, (if that hasn't happened already).
