Where did you see anyone asking for more? People are worried, that they
suddenly have less. If Larry is taking the ability away to extract
information from the SCCS files, something has to replace this. Especially
SCM developers are worried that they loose information, the Linux
repository is a very valuable resource and since they can't use bk, they
always depend on others to get to that information as complete as
possible.

Well, all this reminds me a bit of a missionary trying to convert the
pagans to the one true god and all the true believers can't understand,
why they don't want to be converted. If we could get our preacher to
preach a little less, we all could live peacefully together. :-)
