Re: [python-committers] Survey about DVCSs compared to svn
No need for a long answer - just explain what the purpose of the survey is, and why it isn't as biasad as it appears to be. A process where you're actively discouraging people with a certain opinion from getting involved isn't much of a process.

Can you guys please let me finish the PEP before you start worrying about whether we are going to switch? At least give me the chance to make a decision on whether I think it is reasonable to switch and what to switch to. And then we can have a reasonable conversation where I update the PEP to address any questions that come up.

The survey isn't biased. You have a value "the same /worse than the status
quo" - wherein the status quo is subversion. If you hate DVCes, you mark it
as "same/worse than the status quo" and we move on.
No one is suggesting we accept *less* functionality than subversion: in
fact we're looking at these for *more* functionality.

To see what committers think about the various DVCSs and if one happens to be disliked by a majority of developer when compared to svn as a baseline.

I just wanted some data, nothing more. This was not meant to spark a debate else this would have occurred over at python-dev. I just wanted to know what people thought in order to potentially eliminate a DVCS from the running to make my life easier in writing the PEP. Next time I will flat-out write "DO NOT TAKE THIS SURVEY SERIOUSLY" and still hope people take the time to fill it out.
