Subversion is NOT ready for enterprise level networks. I don't care what has happened to your data. I'd like to see you try and go into a large enterprise and convince the IT PHB that Subversion is ready to manage all their source code.

And the pointless mindless FUD award of the month goes to ...
I can name several enterprise-level organisations using SVN already. Except I can't because it would be a breach of confidentiality. I suspect your pitch to the PHBs must have been flawed if you've been unable to explain to them the quite obvious benefits of SVN over CVS.
From http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#stable :
"It's ready for prime-time production."
From http://subversion.tigris.org/propaganda.html : "I currently manage a group of about 20 developers for a Fortune 500 company. [...] The advantages we received from Subversion are immense."
"I work for a government contracting facility. [...] We've never lost any data, and our developers have found it to be a very intuitive tool. Subversion has been rock-solid in our environment, and very much complements our software engineering practices. I can't speak highly enough of it."
Take a look at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ - commercial projects that are more demanding than the likes of Cocoon or Geronimo are going to be tough to find.
So please, take your troll elsewhere ;-)
