Great data point, that one: Count how many projects are handled on central servers for centralized VCSes. DVCSes just won't show, as such a central server isn't needed at all with them.

Besides, when SourceForge started, there wasn't even SVN, they use CVS and (grudgingly) offered SVN later on. Perhaps they will offer git/hg/bzr some day too...

Please point me at a few free software projects using a DVCS where no central/authoritative
server exists. I'd be interested in their development methodology.
