(It was planned for the initial version, but to my understanding, had to withdraw it due to time restraints and technical difficulties.)

Having multiple editors would require Nevrax to adapt an existing or write their own VCS sysem with code checkout/check in and access levels that make sense. This is indeed a fairly large undertaking. Adapting an existing system would be costly in the licensing aspect unless they use an open source engine. From what I understand the game engine is GNU or GPL licensed, so it wouldn't be a stretch to think they would go open source on the VCS.
