Okay, my summary is slightly facetious, but that's basically the gist of
what he's saying: you should choose Subversion rather than a DVCS
because most of your users won't be smart enough to use the better tool.
I can't say he's completely wrong, especially about the 20/80% idea
(though I think "20%" is generous), but some of his specific arguments
about DVCS are on the bogus side. "Centralized systems encourage code
reviews," for one -- I challenge him to find a project with a more
pervasive and effective code-reviewing culture than the git project. I
find code reviews *harder* in a centralized system because you end up
building external tools to help people try out each other's changes.
