My paper talks about Mercurial as a potential successor to CVS yes but keep
in mind that moving from vcs is difficult and moving from a centralised one
to a distributed one is even more.

Now, I don't think subversion is the answer.  It has some better things
than CVS (which is not difficult in itself) but still lacks a fundamental
feature: when you merge from a branch, it has no memory that you did so and
when.  It is bad.
