I'm all with you; this is my take on that question: As you know, DSCM and git offer tons of advantages over classic centralized SCM systems and the BOINC community thus asked to migrate to git. That migration isn't yet fully done and it certainly does take people some time to get acquainted with all the new concepts and possibilities git offers and to change personal workflows or even habits. Some people are quicker than others in doing so, some are more willing than others, some might even reject any form of change. Anyhow, git provides a lot of opportunities to improve BOINC's SCM workflow and quality and I expect it to do so - only time will tell how quick and how good the adoption will be... My hope is that the devs are open, do listen and are still willing to learn. The more different voices they hear and the louder we are, the higher the chances for change...
