I don't think that the implicit assumption "that something better may one  
day come along" is something which negates action now. That's like  
saying "something better than python may come along, so I'll stick with  
$X". The fact is is that DVCes *are* an improvement over subversion,  
especially around patch/branching/etc. I guess I'm spoiled with systems  
which make branching/patching/merging eas(ier) tasks.
