100% agree with this. I've been quite surprised to see how darcs behaves
while getting their (ghc) repo, although I'm perfectly happy how darcs
behaves on MICO repository. That's for sure! :-)

Also, from the engineering point of view, I would be quite interested to
see darcs using SMP -- perhaps as some research prototype as a proof of
concept motivating future hacking. It's been quite interesting to read
the post here: http://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/blog/2007/11

Thanks,
Karel
