Subversion is an excellent tactic to introduce OSS by the back door.

But on the other hand, it's a pain in the backside for the Support team.
Anybody who's done support knows what it's like when users 'customise'
their own areas with personal software and utilities.

Wider use of the Linux test station idea could be the better way
forward.
