That's not the same as saying "we won't support svn/svk/darcs/=20 whatever, our servers will only run arch". If indeed that is the =20 policy (and I don't know if it is), the "is it political" question =20 still stands. (Though frankly I'm not all that interested in the =20 reasons myself, if such a decision is or has been made.) There's =20 certainly a practicality argument to be made for supporting only one =20 -- supporting arch and something else is more work -- but if there =20 were volunteers to support darcs (or svk) for the convenience of =20 developers who prefer it, it may not be that strong an argument... =20 (or is maintenance of the cvs and arch services a paid position?) > If Arch was technically so bad that it would impede development of the > GNU system, it would obviously be a bad choice for the GNU Project > (e.g., CVS was used because it could do more things than RCS); but =20 > that > is clearly not the case, quite the contrary. :-) I wouldn't know. I've just been mirroring the Emacs CVS sources into =20= my subversion repository for a couple of months now and haven't =20 learned arch yet... :-) But like I said, Arch being sufficient isn't, by itself, a reason not =20= to support something else.
