 CVSTrac is also the author of SQLite) ^[wiki:VersioningSystemBackend#a1 (1)]^.
 
-So, the current situation is pretty simple:
- * If you're using [https://www.cvshome.org/ CVS], use '''CVSTrac'''
- * If you're using [http://subversion.tigris.org Subversion], use '''Trac'''
- * If you're using [http://www.darcs.net/ Darcs], use '''Trac+Darcs''' (see [http://progetti.arstecnica.it/trac+darcs/wiki/DarcsBackend DarcsBackend])
- * If you're using [http://bazaar-ng.org/ Bazaar-NG], use '''Trac+Darcs''' since it also has support for Bazaar-NG (see [http://progetti.arstecnica.it/trac+darcs/wiki/BzrngBackend BzrngBackend])
- * If you're using [http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/ Mercurial], use TracMercurial
- * If you're using [http://www.perforce.com/ Perforce], use [http://trac-hacks.swapoff.org/wiki/PerforcePlugin PerforcePlugin] (see also ticket #257)
- * If you're using something else, you're on your own...
+The versioning systems known to work with Trac are:
+ * [http://subversion.tigris.org Subversion], which is supported 
+   by '''Trac''' out of the box, provided you have Subversion and
+   its Python bindings installed (preferred version is still 1.2.3)
+ * [http://www.darcs.net/ Darcs], with '''Trac+Darcs''' 
+   (see [http://progetti.arstecnica.it/trac+darcs/wiki/DarcsBackend DarcsBackend], and also #638)
+ * [http://bazaar-ng.org/ Bazaar-NG], also with '''Trac+Darcs''' 
+   since it also has support for Bazaar-NG 
+   (see [http://progetti.arstecnica.it/trac+darcs/wiki/BzrngBackend BzrngBackend])
+ * [http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/ Mercurial], as a plugin for Trac (see TracMercurial)
+ * [http://www.perforce.com/ Perforce], as a plugin for Trac
+   (see [http://trac-hacks.swapoff.org/wiki/PerforcePlugin PerforcePlugin] (see also ticket #257)
+ * If you're using something else, you're on your own... 
 
-But as Trac is evolving, it will support more
-versioning system backends.  This is a stated
-goal for the [milestone:0.10 Milestone 0.10].
+...but it should be much easier now to add support for another backend,
+as of Trac [milestone:0.10] (but this is already available in the 
+[source:trunk] version).
+Among other things, Subversion is not a strict requirement anymore,
+and there's support for pluggable backends (`IRepositoryConnector`,
+see TracMercurial for an example).
 
-So far, there has been interest in the following systems:
- * #978: [http://svk.elixus.org SVK] support (as mentioned in that ticket, SVK 
-   ''is'' actually already supported in some way)
+In addition, there has been interest in the following systems:
+ * #978: [http://svk.elixus.org SVK] support 
+   (as mentioned in that ticket, SVK ''is'' actually already supported in some way)
+ * #893: [http://regexps.srparish.net/www/ Arch] support
+ * #1492: [http://venge.net/monotone/ monotone] support
+ * #2037: ClearCase support
+ * #2643: [https://www.cvshome.org/ CVS] support
  * TBD: [http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/ Git] support
- * #893: [http://regexps.srparish.net/www/ Arch] support
- * #638: [http://www.darcs.net/ darcs] support
- * #1492: [http://venge.net/monotone/ monotone] support
- * TBD: [http://bazaar-ng.org/ bzr] support  (This one is interesting in that it is written in Python.)
  * TBD: [http://www.darcs.net/DarcsWiki/DarcsGit darcs-git] support for darcs-git backend might also be useful.
- * #2037 ClearCase support
-
-There's even a request that Trac should be usable ''without''
-any underlying versioning system (#156).
