I'm using a mixture of Bazaar and Subversion. I think that DVCSs do not make sense everywhere. Both, a DVCS and a VCS need maintenance. With a DVCS you might get a lot of branches where if no one cares you suddenly have a lot of mess. This is exactly the opposite with a VCS that is very strict with giving people write access where you need people to review and apply patches. If those people don't exist the sources will not change. However I still think that it absolute makes sense to have a shared repository with some people that are responsible for maintenance and patch review/apply. If this works well I believe it will not hinder anyone from commitment.
