I think that it would be a suitable point in time to switch to a new version control system right after the 1.1 release.
I haven't read this thread in detail, but I should quickly mention that subversion works quite well enough from my point of view.
An obstacle to switching is the amount of integration efforts that was done, mainly on codespeak, between the repository and various other facilities. It is ok to discuss alternatives, but we need to keep in mind that someone will have to stand up and redo all that work on codespeak.
In order to try to simplify discussions about changing tools, Twisted has tried to start building up a centralized list of the important features we use (still something of a work in progress): http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/WorkflowRequirements If someone writes up something similar for PyPy then it might be easier to talk about what tools can be replaced, what the consequences are, etc. Jean-Paul
