Can someone put forth a strong argument as to why monotone provides 
better functionality than the existing 4 choices?  Otherwise I think we 
have done our due diligence by providing freedom to projects *choose* a 
  SCM from the supported list which includes most of the currently 
widely used SCMs.

Having too many choices isn't always a good thing.  One of many links I 
found on google: http://www.apa.org/monitor/jun04/toomany.html
