Watching the two of you argue about silly stuff is a distraction
from an otherwise useful thread (for the active devs) to have. I
can tell you from reading a number of incubator lists that the
emerging public view of Subversion in 2010 is not promising for
open source deployments, and if the project can't figure out how
to remain relevant in 2010 that's something that will concern me
when it comes time to make a longer term decision on which version
control tool Apache projects should be using (in say 2011, 2012,
or 2015).
