I'm a new person fitting Karl's audience for his email and would like to
offer a couple of general observations here. Seems to me that when there
are two or more different software solutions for a particular problem class,
the dynamic tension of the differing central purposes end up making all of
the projects better than each on it's own would have been. So for that
reason alone I would prefer to see Arch and Svn remain independent though
not isolated. The second observation, which is probably more of an
illustration of the previous one, involves on of the big diffs between the
two projects: central versus distributed models. There are many times I've
found myself in need of a local SCM for my day to day work so I can maintain
different solutions to test out after which I can then push them to the
central repository.
Anyway, the primary issue should probably be maintaining an open mind toward
each others' projects which really means never having to say "Stop wasting
your time on that."
