I know I'm new on the list, but having used CVS, SVN, and Git, I would 
vote no. Even with a distributed version control system (DVCS), a 
project necessarily needs a main repository to house release code. 
Because of the decentralized nature of a DVCS, it invariably requires 
more human hours to maintain this main repository. And from what I've 
seen in the short time I've been on this list, humans with the requisite 
skills are quite few, and thus human hours are limited.

(This is, of course, just my opinion, and I should mention that I've 
never used Mercurial, but I assume it's similar to Git.)

Besides, the project already has an SVN repository for the source code, 
and it should probably use the same one for modules.
