They all want a BK replacement, not a tarball+patch > replacement No. The fundamental point is: There are a small group of people who cannot legally extract sources from o/s projects hosted with bk. However small the group, this is unacceptible for an o/s project. So Bk is unsuitable for general hosting of o/s, 'free and available to all' projects. They will use cvs or arch. Thats why you should provide this facility. Not because I want it, but because you should want as many o/s projects as possible to use bk, for sound business reasons. I think I can see granny looking hungrily at a basket of eggs, so I'm finished.
