Hi,

in general I like SVN and use it for a long time in my own projects. And
I don't like the fact that we are still using CVS at work which causes
some trouble at least once a week (Our project manager thought it is too
much work to convert...). But just pushing and supporting SVN is IMHO
wrong. Especially in bigger projects with developers in different
locations a distributed version control system is a much better choice.
And SVK is definitely not a good choice in that case although it is
based on SVN. So I think it is better to show different VCS or DVCS and
show their strengths and weaknesses.

A nice comparison of DVCS's:
