    No. It's about recognizing the needs of more people than just the few at
    the top. Besides, with a free tool at the Head, bk could continue to be
    used underneath by Linus and anyone else. And others in the community
    could use their preferred tools too.

    It's not a choice between BK or nothing. Much of the improvements you're
    attributing to BK would have been realized with any other SCM system too.
