+1.

This is how we got CVS over RCS, and svn over CVS.  I believe, even with
the annoyances of each of these, we have improved at each step.  Someone
at ISC championed each one of these from having used them before, or in
another project.

BIND 9 even went through this.  We almost decided on something called
'bitkeeper' but I believe it was commercial or was becoming commercial,
and was closed source for that reason.  Note that closed source was an
option then too.
