Why can't we have a mailing list that sends out a diff for each update?

You can, just get Linus to add a trigger to his tree to do so.

He did, the list exists 8)

I thought so:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=104534718212591&w=2
I just wanted to confirm that bk-commit-head is actually:
1. Complete
2. Realtime

If so, anybody can track Linus' tree, in real time, without using BitKeeper.

Therefore, mailing lists for every single Linux-related BK repository would allow anybody to track all of the trees in real time, without using BK.

Unless bandwidth is a problem, (possible for dial-up users), I don't see why we can't do that. How many people subscribed to this list are still on dial-up?

Larry needn't even pay for the outbound bandwidth for the mailing list, except to forward it to somebody who is willing to send it out.
John.
