Going back over the archives, Chris Lasher was most vocal in supporting 
the move, and there were a few other positive voices.

Speaking for myself, I have no strong desire either way, and I don't 
think Michiel objected either (except over the timing).  Then as now, we 
are hoping to get the next release out "shortly", so after that would be 
a good time to make the switch.

[I'm assuming we won't loose any revision history or comments, and that 
things like the web based ViewCVS and its RSS feed will still be available]
