Minor correction - RH owns the physical sources.redhat.com system.
It pays for the network bandwidth, electricity, and the necessary
network IS resources. The time spent actually administering the
box (almost entirely Chris Faylor these days) is outside the scope
of cgf's Day Job, so most administration is on a volunteer basis.

I don't think I saw anyone suggesting alternative SCMs... cagney
wrote "sware, subversion, sourceforge", but he probably meant
to write "subversions", as in "subversions.gnu.org".

(svn is really interesting, and I expect I'll be playing with it
more this year, but it'll be a while before anyone wants to switch
their project to using it. If nothing else, each developer in that
project has to install/set up svn before they can access the
repository.)
