This is simply a problem of QA. If someone writes a system that can serve all possible (D)VCS clients that's fine but this won't happen tommorow and I will need a huge amount of time to be finished and tested. And in addition it's unlikely that such a system will support more than a common subset of the features of the underlying DVCS system. First, be honest, we need to decide which system to use. I have no preference here, the survey says that most current users prefer git. So it sounds reasonable to go that way if it doesn't has to much problematic impact on the infrastructure side. Second, a VCS system is something that just has to work. I doubt many people really care a lot about what system they use as long as it does not cause any problems for them. People familiar to git will easily learn bzr and the bzr-people will learn git. It's not a good idea to make this decision too important and to do flame-wars. Probably all major DVCS fit our needs and it is more a matter of taste. The survey was a good point to find out the taste of the GNOME developers => we should accept that. Regards Johannes
