>From what I see BitKeeper has definitely helped the kernel development
processes. On the other hand BitKeeper has been stable for the last
couple of years. Are we going to see any large changes in BK any time
soon? For example BK could be extended to handle the workflow AndrewM
does. Another extension would be for moving signed patches through the
system to help avoid another SCO problem. Any hints on where the
future is going? Can BK be extended to further automate the kernel
development workflow?
