I think the only problem that prevented an even better conversation
was that somebody started arguing by gut and when was confronted with
reasonable arguments then just kept changing the topic.
Do you know how am I talking about? I personally felt really hard to
reply some of your mails in that thread without being rude.
So while I'm agree that switching DVCS requires careful planning and
implementation, but accusing people for being one sided for git when
many of them expressed that they personally favor hg(even the person
who wrote the rfc, and started the whole discussion) seems unjustified
for me.
Maybe they are trying to see not just their own preferences but the
php ecosystem as whole, and not trying to force their own ideals to
others?
I don't know, but maybe that could be a hint for you.
