That will mean that nobody will be able to effectively work on emacs any more. It's a bad move, but not because nobody will be able to effectively work on emacs any more (an exaggeration), but rather because to effectively work on emacs, people will have to spend time setting up, testing, and debugging various coping mechanisms. Big time/effort sink. On the other hand, if we see something like: | ttn <-> git <------------> git <-> jrhacker : high freq | emacs emacs : changes | ^ ^ | | | | v v | bzr <------------> bzr : low freq | emacs emacs : changes evolve, then maybe that's not so bad. thi
