If all contributors were just small contributors, that would be true. But the impact of using bzr for GNU Emacs is not the same for small contributors and for package maintainers. I am trying to maintain org-mode in my free time, and I can tell how maintainance would be a lot easier if Emacs were using git. Okay, the fact that GNU Emacs uses bzr is no excuse for the recent delays in merging Org -- the real reason is my lack of free time -- but it definitely doesn't make things easier. -- Bastien
