I'd like to see the Python source be stored in Subversion instead of CVS, and on python.org instead of sf.net.

+1, +1.

CVS has a number of limitations that have been elimintation by Subversion. For the development of Python, the most notable improvements are: - ability to rename files and directories, and to remove directories, while keeping the history of these files. - support for change sets (sets of correlated changes to multiple files) through global revision numbers. - support for offline diffs, which is useful when creating patches.

-- transactional operation - a changeset is either committed or rolled back at once; -- very effective (both in terms of speed and memory) tagging and branching; tags and branches are very easy to understand and use in SVN.
