I think that if:
1) The SCM is in RHEL/EPEL.
2) There are real projects that want to use it (and that we feel like
will stick around).
3) Implementation is fairly straightforward
4) Someone on the hosted admin team is willing/able to install/support it.
We should.
Supporting more than just SVN and CVS is one way we can distinguish
Fedora Hosted from other project hosting.
I would also say that the people wanting XYZ SCM need to volunteer to
help 'us' on it. As in hosted-help-monotone questions go to someone
who can answer them versus someone else who can't. If they can provide
that help and training.. that is a +, if they can't it is a definate
-.
