Right, that's what I would pick as well.

Basically, how do we enable people to work as part of the larger 
community?  That's what distributed SCMs allow you to do, and it's why 
we should be supporting them.  Because we're part of that larger 
community.  That's the metric that I would use.  Does adding this bring 
more people into the fold, and enable them to get things done?  Does it 
let them connect to the larger community in a meaningful way?

A side note, not really relevant to the meta discussion is that svn is a 
"cvs that doesn't suck" and I would rather support it over cvs.  But if 
we're talking about moving to a better SCM we might as well leapfrog 
right to something like git.
