Instead, what you have is a bunch of very talented people wasting their time on something they had and could have continued to have for free.

What, are you dissatisfied with the state of the current 2.6.x branch? Anything missing in the latest 2.6.15 kernel?

It helped the kernel in a big way and no matter what the silly press says, no BK has taken its toll on the pace of kernel development.

Ah, you don't want to say so, just imply it in a convoluted way.

Well, IMHO good craftsmen must be able to make their own tools, or at least modify them at ease. Linus could inspect and sharpen his BitKeeper tool using you as a middleman, but the rest of the world could not. Now we have git which everyone can inspect and modify at will, and therefore everyone has won.
