Strange attitude. As it is, darcs-1 is already very good VCS, even if
there were no more development it is still worth using. Sooner or later
the development will stop anyway, should then everyone stop using this
software? :) After all VCS in general should be conservative. It does
not make sense to move the code from one repository to another every
year. In our case, we still have mixture of repositories. Some very old
projects still use CVS, while new ones are placed into darcs.
