Completely agree.

They both look pretty good, BTW. BerliOS even have two GIT browsers,
each have own nice sides and both are much better than Allura.

That was exact argument why I was against any moves last summer.
Well, migration of GIT and users permissions are simple enough. But
migration of tracker is not.

I've asked to prevent upgrade at their advertisement page already.
I'll ask them again by other means as well. At least they keep hsqldb
from upgrade for now (some of developers said that in comment) so I hope
they can do it for us as well. But I'm not sure how long that status quo
will last anyway. They treat SF as their toy but it's a tool for us. Why
they don't want to understand that?
