    Well, your above Email doesn't.  CVS does not work by Email, git does
    not work by IRC, and neither are in any manner even remotely related
    with medieval merchants.

Using IRC to communicate was part of method that ESR wanted us to
adopt.  I agree we can separate that issue from use of a DVCS.

The medieval merchants are an analogy; if you take it literally
then you don't get the point.
