Larry is doing us all a service by getting bitkeeper the funding it needs to improve at the rate it has.
If the program had to survive as an open source program without several people working on it full-time, I bet many of the boring but necessary tasks still wouldn't have been done ...
Source control just isn't one of those sexy things that everybody wants to work on and on top of that it's deep magic most people (especially me) can't figure out. ;)
