Something that makes me wonder is how it can be that even MS offers git services now, but Launchpad still doesn't. Codeplex is now more fun to use for Linux folks than Launchpad is. The world is upside down.

I'm just pointing out that you were asking the wrong question :)
and, talking about dinosaurs, SVN last year still had something like 30% of market share, so dinosaurs are actually still ruling the world ;)Mar 24, 2012
Which wrong question did I ask? Don't just weasel around, focus on the discussion please.Mar 24, 2012- the same question I highlighted before: "Why try to solve the same, already solved problem over and over again?"
I thought it was self-evidentMar 24, 2012 - Which answer did you give to that question to prove that it was wrong? You should be able to recognize rhetorical questions in a discussion. Short answer to my highly rhetorical question: The (D)VCS problem was simply not solved well enough before git arrived; I consider it solved, for now, until new use cases appear that git might not be able to handle. Do you really want to continue on that side track?
The real questions in this discussion are:
Should Canonical
1) enforce bazaar for Launchpad
2) spend resources on bazaar.
Which is what I commented earlier, and which I both answer with no.Mar 24, 2012 - that's a good example for why you shouldn't use rethorical questions: you were using some assumptions that are simply not shared with the rest of the population :)
some better questions imho are:
-does the people who care about launchpad care about git?
-does the people who care about git care about launchpad?
-thus: should canonical focus its effort on git?
without previously answering these questions, we don't have a clear case for an alternative dvcs in launchpad to have along with bazaar (and to phase out bazaar in the long term eventually)
and without an alternative, it surely doesn't make sense to ask whether canonical should enforce bazaar or invest in bazaar
unless we're arguing about phasing out launchpad altogether, but I think that's a little bit preposterous in the short term :)
my 2 cents/answers to the questions I raised above:
-probably no
-probably no
-maybe

+Michael Hasselmann Peformance is realistically lower on the list of mainstream usability concerns. If users have too hard a time understanding the tool it doesn't matter how fast it is. Keep in mind git was designed for kernel hackers.Mar 25, 2012
