I like the idea. And I will attend the LSM.

I've been looking at it and I still don't see how to make the transition. The
,v files of CVS and RCS are not used in arch, and I still don't fully
understand the implications of not having a central repository (the version
information, or patches in arch's jargon, get distributed among developers).
Is there any large project already using arch? I don't think it would be a
good idea to use Savannah as a beta tester.

Don't know. Loic and Guillaume should be able to tell.
