It won't break both. If for some reason the SVN dump is not what we
want, CVS will still be available read-only to make a better dump.

All of Apache Software Foundation switched to SVN, and there hasn't
been a single problem in the switchover - countless projects,
countless committers...

We should just get on with it...

As far as wanting some other VCS other than SVN: until it gets offered
by the SF admins as an alternative, we have a choice between CVS and
SVN. CVS is broken and SVN isn't. Once we've switched to SVN we can
still use other tools like svk on top of SVN.

Cheers, jas.
