Let's put it this way: I don't think that anybody is advocating 
Subversion in a way that would raise eyebrows if a potential employer 
came across this thread via Google.

My position is that I'd tolerate almost anything- cvs, rcs- provided 
that the political and contractual terms were acceptable. I suppose that 
for small and slow-moving projects a hybrid approach would be possible: 
apply patches to a local VCS, and then dump that to an ISP's HTTP or FTP 
server nightly.
