Personally, I'd be very happy if we use svn-1.x as a "better CVS". I 
suggested CVS mainly because it's more widely deployed and understood 
(although svn is increasingly taking over this space).

Why would a read-mostly user need atomic commits? For changesets, 
something like mercurial would give more information, because it's able 
to represent branches and merges better.
