The advantages look like a good start.  I'd like
to add:

Con:
* The migration itself will cause a certain amount of disruption
   (transient)
* Those who just don't care will have to learn a new tool
   (transient, subjective).
* Links to svn will be broken.  Trac and svn are currently
   heavily cross-linked.  If someone has a way to avoid this
   problem, I'd be more than happy to withdraw it.  (long-term).

(I'd just put this up, but I wanted to post here first
to make sure that I'm not just missing something and
that they're expressed in a fair way.)
