If it doesn't help people wouldn't have requested it in the first place. 
It might be the case that we don't want that as a final plan but this 
could be a incremental process. Provide a copy and mark it as 
experimental. See how well it used and then if the advantages are 
compelling to more people, some might take the initiative to move us to 
a distributed SCM altogether.

Has the Fedora Board recognized that moving to a distributed SCM is 
desirable for downstream folks and asked Fedora infrastructure to work 
on that or indicated in any way that this is the future direction?  I 
think this is one of the instances where the Fedora Board should take on 
a more active role.
