The major issue is that the whole infrastructure is set to use cvs and switching to svn requires a *lot* of work.
No problem, put if up for next year's summer of code. A student will gladly do it because he's getting paid $4500 for it :) Gentoo switched from CVS to SVN during this year's SoC.
I doubt that internals will have the necessary trust in a student to do this. More importantly I have personally argued about this with Rasmus, Ilia, Derick and several others. They simply do not see much of an advantage from switching to SVN. They only see a lot of "unnecessary" work and a huge risk (they keep pointing to the initial stability/reliability issues of SVN). regards, Lukas
