The affects of many top level folks using a non free system is felt all the way down the food-chain. If the top tier would agree to use a free SCM system then we could build bridges and offer the data in the preferred format to _everyone_ (arch, subversion, patch, BK, etc). But because BK is used at the top, many useful options are cut off. It's a rather large "hidden" cost of BK adoption as the primary tool at the top.
Cheers, Sean
