Nicely said, David. In some ways we've already set out on the mission
you describe -- but it's good to articulate it openly.
We should still continue to make Subversion better for non-huge projects
and for projects that don't have a clear need for decentralized vs
centralized, though. The choice here is of emphasis and general
direction; it's not a stark one-or-the-other thing. Many non-huge
projects will choose Subversion, for lots of reasons, and we should
serve them too. A wide user base means a wide developer base.
I don't think you were really proposing otherwise, and I think your last
sentence above (and the details that followed it) are great at saying
what we should focus on. And yeah, wc-ng is definitely key to making
that stuff maintainable :-).
