I know. It's a difficult choice.
But if we change our VCS for a DVCS, we do it for contributors or=20
maintainers? If maintainers are the most concerned people, they should=20
give a try to Hg and Git for a period longer than 2 weeks (2 months=20
seems to be a reasonable period, 1 month with Hg, 1 month with Git).
For the moment, the vote is opened to contributors. Maybe it's not a=20
good =93target=94 for the vote.

I don't too. I think Git is more complicated than Hg and I regret the=20
way the vote is changing. But, I repeat, I think the target for the vote =

is not appropriated.
