5 Not entirely accurate. If there are compelling reasons to use another
6 solution instead of CVS, we are certainly willing to look at other
7 solutions. "Because I like it better" or "because it works better for me"
8 is generally not a good reason.

10 We would prefer to support only one version control system, be it CVS,
11 BitKeeper, Subversion or whatever. We don't really have the resources,
12 time or inclination to support multiple version control systems. If there
13 are strong, clearly articulated reasons why Gentoo, as a project, cannot
14 progress without supporting multiple version control systems, then we're
15 certainly willing to look at that, too.

17 Anyone developer wishing to change over to a new system should probably
18 start with a GLEP.
