Here are my two cents:

I actually held Linus opinion in rather high regard until he went 
berzerk on how bad Subversion is. *Please* don't take everything Linus 
says as The One True Way to version control heaven. Subversion does not 
fit Linus needs (understandably), but that does not mean the DVCS is 
suitable for everyone.

Those of you who haven't already read "Version Control and 'the 80%'" 
should do so (http://blog.red-bean.com/sussman/?p=79) *before* forming 
your opinion on centralized version control.
