I don't think anyone who has used a good VCS says anything different
about subversion.  While most of my monotone pokes are in jest, I
honestly think that it is within an epsilon of being suitable for Gaim
development, at least by the core developers (perhaps using a
subversion repository via tailor for anonymous pulls by users who have
no intention of doing serious development, as many users won't be
familiar with monotone), and within the next few months I would like
to entertain a serious discussion about migration to monotone.
