Not until we release a 1.0. If those sites want to pick up pre-1.0, then
more power to 'em. It might be interesting to do that around the Beta
timeframe. But most people seem to be concerned about coding SVN to reach
that state of "features and correctness" before really worrying about
publicity, adoption, and other similar activities.

Personally, I believe SVN will definitely follow the model of, "build it and
they will come." SVN just kind of creates a natural gravity well, and we'll
see people migrating. More and more, until one day, SVN is the natural
order, and CVS is the old beast.
