I don't think there is any need to get hysterical. It seems to me that what Matthias says is true. I am free to do (almost) anything I want with my project. However, because of the beauty of our license - so are you! Some reasons that I agreed to move gnome-screensaver to git included: translators would still have ssh access to commit, there was already a git guide for translators on the wiki/web. However, after I was told that translators weren't prepared to make this adjustment and faced with the prospect of doing more work to manually merge translations into git myself, I agreed to move back to svn. When we move to git immediately after 2.26.0 I trust that everyone will be informed and ready to tackle the workflow changes that result. I suggest that instead of continuing this conversation we focus on making sure we're ready.
