Mathias,

I have to disagree with that. GNOME is not an individualistic project
but a group effort. For that reason, GNOME has a release process and the
modules part of GNOME "core" (the various suites) have to follow the
release process.

Switching VCS like that, on the fly, is a disruption in this process.
Even more when done in the middle of a release cycle.

I see that Jon addressed the issue, but I just wanted emphasis how wrong
your message was.
And yes I'm eager to see GNOME move to git.

Hub, who is not part of the release team.
