Generally, with things like SCMs or build systems, no one is going
to switch until it's "live" and they have to - they worry about getting
their stuff packaged and can manage to migrate when they have to.
I recall when we initally did the CVS migration internally - we
went from a few feeble 'hm, works for me, I suppose' to 'OMG WHAT DID
YOU DO' as soon as we made it live.
