Years ago, I worked at one largish company where a couple of the
embedded development projects used ClearCase.  The rest of us used CVS
or RCS or some other cheap commercial systems.  Judging by those
results, ClearCase requires a full-time administrator for every 10 or
so users.  The other systems seemed to require almost no regular
administration, and what was required was handled by the developers
themselves (mayby a couple hours per month).  The cost of ClearCase
was also sky-high.
