Of all the problems we have as an industry, I'm convinced that version control is near the bottom of the list. Sure, 'DVCS' in the form of git or mercurial doesn't deal well with binary files, and has large repo sizes. If these are problems, you might be using the wrong tool. But that's fine; pretty much everybody should be using something like git or mercurial. They're flexible, relatively easy-to-use, and cover almost all use cases. If you need to store large frequently-changing binary blobs, then you are probably in a minority; there's nothing really wrong with git-annex for managing that content. But this whole thing we're seeing at the moment with people objecting to DVCS utterly mystifies me, as someone who went from CVS to SVN to git and has utterly no interest in going back.
