Seems a pompous article and doesn't tell me anything new. It seems a bit of a incoherent rant really. A couple of specific examples: * The notion that you can do anything you want in C is perhaps true but silly. I mean, you can do everything you want in assembly language as well but that doesn't mean, it is suitable for everything. Pick your tool to suit the job required. * BSDs use much of the same user land as Linux and version control isn't centralized. Distributed development fits well within the free software culture anyway. If you wanted a central repository, all major distributions will provide one. So I can't say I enjoyed reading it.
