Another pro is that once it get releases, more people would be willing
to push for support by other systems (bug reports, etc...), which can be
a significant problem for migration (typically, trac users; for the
projects I am working on, this is the most often raised point).
Concerning import from foreign VCS, my impression is that bzr-svn works
quite well, and is at least on par with the two other big DVCS (hg and
git), no ? For open-source developers, I would guess this is the most
significant migration path (from SVN).
