You miss the bigger point that Linux kernel productivity had DOUBLED using BK. I know that my own productivity improved by a larger margin. The simple truth is that most OS programming suck, as evidenced by the state of most OS tools. Subversion is laughable next to BK, and it is the best OS VC out there. The duplication efforts (arch, darcs) are pathetic, as anyone can tell by using them for a day or so. How the self-righteous kernel community could manage to screw up such a sweet deal is beyond me. However it just confirms my thesis as to the quality of the average OS programmer. It is amazing that OS software gets written at all, let alone works in many situations. If people spent half as much time learning about CS and perfecting their programs as they do bellyaching about BK, we might have credible OS alternatives to some commercial software.
