I'll take the rest of this offline, but I need to acknowledge two errors on
my part.

Larry is correct. I remembered the details on this incorrectly. It just goes
to show that people of *any* stature make mistakes.

I stand corrected. I've only talked to Larry, and I was under the (mistaken)
impression that BitKeeper was his effort alone. My apologies to anyone I may
have unintentionally slighted.

Once again, I think that Larry and his team are doing good work. For further
discussion of why we will be doing DCMS anyway, join dcms-dev@eros-os.org.
