Still, this is a limitation -- I probably wouldn't use bitkeeper if I ever started a project. Note that I say "probably"... And I can't imagine many people sticking to "free" Debian without having a very good reason. If it's being a purist, they would probably be annoyed at Linus' choice of BitKeeper. If it's being an open source developer themself, I'd consider Linus to be an "open source developer" - -- and I'd marvel that these "open source developers" wouldn't be pragmatists themselves. But anyhow, this is getting offtopic enough, and I don't care enough -- I don't use Debian, and I'd use non-free if I did. I'll let the people in charge work this out. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIVAwUBQJb63ngHNmZLgCUhAQJLohAAgI7LPs/pL45CdasV7zvK41NA0xCLEFIt +SvRra/gdP49JFpSJ7PvwNLQmP3mC2JXFWGolqSDEhviQ7dXyUTfcTxlWxCE3s4y l3e+pikta0idIPJeqEkz6+eMNxxZO7S8KYkJpt2CRzgfi0KCgUQWN4Vm75rbvoNG dhEnkiL5uFdF/qT/nHzSxKV2GofRvWSnkB8epawMGnZLA2YNwnvkBB60s/cwI96b 2HKNhazd8jyLnLXjHxhPHdCymKYPEHA+9bVqLc9aWN9eeRBXpdpZ61lVY/ldu0LR kezy0rAuj/m/e3Sfjr1F1lJI4Wa630khFgKvYI1hZVtK8XDRxnUtzuufiJWqAfKr YhD2J8vaezhpS4HlH3kJp2l1rP7EyL/fCGHMx8PVQUQ/nqA2FZ1129D9yTo97Ev4 UC5xruw1XLYkgSlk8nm+6DYh5JMB+DxaUjG7AR0XCTJ2EVIfw51vT8KzQyGaZQNi c/Heu6iOlqdyjKJyjqaQ3YPXHwQiH/lLN8+kiyI7zDETcBDvu+9rmKDa0n+Cd1wh EEKxnOlFxsXHcbUOOQb5aXW3664i5/lvnuzdzyjr+AAco6AcIndwOqZj4PddT4hc L171568W0pjOyKS0zY72WBMICNp138RVOwxTeepRALC9G1lWU6LllfclMWPqUc1S U7UBU+oDTZw= =ADOO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
