For another metric I agree with distributing the SCM with NetBSD.

I like the fact that NetBSD is not only self building, but also self hosting 
(small http/ftp server) and self updating (current bundled csv).

Still, scmgit-base could be distributed with the base system i think as that 
part doesn't rely on perl or python. I prefer fossil though.
