arch, subversion, even BitKeeper if it was free, would perhaps be better

access aren't as great deterrents as you make it sound. Just take a look
at the very big and successful projects whose source control system is
CVS. Anyway, if I had to vote, I'd chose to wait for subversion.
We built la Sagrada Familia in Barcelona with pick axes, trowels and
spades, so there really isn't that great a benefit to using backhoes,
cranes, and dumptrucks.
But even now there are people who does big contributions (I mean, not
tiny patches of 5-10 lines, but changes of hundreds or thousands of
lines) and who do not have write access nor (seem to) want it.
This isn't about write access; this is about having your local branch be
under revision control in a form that is really easy for the main branch
to pull in and merge, and that anyone can download if they want to.
Arch is about making branching a non-hostile and not necessarily
permanent act; it is about allowing many different threads of
developement to grow in parallel, instead of each fork diverging
irrevocably into different sunsets.
