Subversion considers its future

Ben Collins-Sussman has posted an interesting note on the future of Subversion and centralized version control. "I've chatted with other developers, and we've all come to some similar private conclusions about Subversion's future. First, we think that this will probably be the 'final' centralized system that gets written in the open source world - it represents the end-of-the-line for this model of code collaboration. It will continue to be used for many years, but specifically it will gain huge mindshare in the corporate world, while (eventually) losing mindshare to distributed systems in the open-source arena."
