I'm sure evangelical missions are still important - mainly to counter
the "SVN is crap at merging, Mercurial/Git/a.n.otherDVCS is the ultimate
SCM that fixes all your problems" type arguments that seems to be
increasingly popular. Even our Serena dimensions admin (terrible
'enterprisey' ALM SCM) knows about git but doesn't know what SVN'd give
him.

So, I'd say there are still loads of poor souls needing the word
bringing to them, and the FUD dispelling.
