To be fair, if my guess is right that low-level GNOME hackers are
highly correlated with git users (and anti-correlated to usage of
other SCM systems)[1], then it may well have seemed to Behdad that
this was in fact the case, as he is most likely to interact
development wise with his fellow low-level hackers.

Again, just some food for thought.
