I agree (I use it) -- but of course it has its own issues. For instance
it has a _lot_ less attention payed to optimization than one might wish
(judging from "git", this is very important to Linus :-). The concept
of "archives" and their associated namespace offer some nice advantages,
but is a very different model than BK uses, and I presume sticking with
the familiar and simple BK model was attractive.
