i would rather say: it was decided that if somebody volunteers to do the
work, nobody will object.
i volunteered to do the work.
after fruitless discussions, i decided to not push the switch any more.
(though i still would like to work with subversion)
the main counter-argument against svn was, that everything that cannot
be done with CVS was considered as "experimental" and "should not be
used", in which case i don't see a reason to do the work.

or rather, no, it won't be done AFAIK.
i am currently thinking of starting an svn-repository in parallel to the
CVS-repository (both at sourceforge) and whoever wants to move over
should just do it, and leave a notice in the CVS, that the content has
moved.
