Raymond, co-founder of the Open Source Initiative, has recommended that Emacs should move to another version control system like GitHub, as bzr is dying. In an email, Raymond highlighted the key reasons why he believes that Emacs should move. Raymond said that bzr is moribund; its dev list has flatlined; and most of Canonical's in-house projects have already abandoned bzr and moved to GitHub. ESR believes that bzr's codebase is sufficiently mature to be used as a production tool, but he does mention that continuing to use the revision control system will have 'social and signaling effects damaging to Emacs's prospects.'" I think the last sentence, "... will have 'social and signaling effects damaging to Emacs's prospects.'" is the crux, bzr is more than enough DVCS for Leo, the only drawback is "Ohh, you're not using git...". Longer term bzr may atrophy, I guess, although I imagine it will be usable for many years to come. Matt and Jacob - it seemed that between you you'd kind of done most of the leg-work for getting Leo's VCS history in one place and moving it to git - I'm not saying we should move right now, but just wondering how high the barrier is, not very, perhaps?
