Having been through the bk->mtn switchover and the re-evaluation I
noticed that people who said "I will start contributing (much more) to
OE if you weren't using bitkeeper" didn't actually start contributing
*at all*, so I'm extremely sceptical of the promised influx of a
gazillion ISVs, OEMs, ODMs and users with a switch to hg/git/vss.

All I can see is that the people taking care of the OE infrastructure
(Mickey and me) will have to allocate some weeks to do a good
changeover[1], and we both aren't known for our copious amounts of spare
time that would be needed.

regards,

Koen

[1] As it is, we were(are?) beginning the move of large parts of the
existing infrastructure to a new machine, but that's put on hold[2] due
to this discussion.
[2] Yes, that's why you haven't seen any commits mails lately.
