A proposed Subversion vision and roadmap

Consider "Those who become obsessed by the enemy become the enemy" where 'the enemy' = FUD and the spreading of. To me it read like SVN devs here are saying they are aware of and respect the offerings of the other tools that cover DVCS functionality and aren't wanting to step on anybody's toes. As with anything with multiple potential solutions, each one slightly different and catering to slightly different needs or tastes, you'll always get people religiously telling why their way is The True Way(tm) ... even after saying this same thing to somebody else earlier today on a different subject, it still takes me a little by surprise quite the level of it on this page. It's software, it's a tool, it really shouldn't evoke this much emotion!
