Flames, flames and flames.

Most imporatantly I haven't seen among anti-BK flamers for example Tom Lord - who is silently continues his work on GNU/Arch.

And other SCM developers too. They were silent. Most kernel developers were silent too. (Andrea Arcangeli's position is well known - but he is rather exception.)

So who was flaming them? Zealots, who had time to flame - but no capabilities to develop competitor?

Larry did his best. As always. I've seen most BK flames on LKML. Larry has more patience than me - that's for sure.

You should be more observant.

Ben Collins is both a kernel developer and a subversion developer, and has
been vocal on the bk issue.

...and then svn doesn't fit anyways, although the main point for him might be prohibitive clause (don't follow lkml in any ways -- moctly KT -- for quite a time, may just err).

Yep, people who yell and people who implement usually are just different...
