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.
