Parent article: Emacs chooses Bazaar

Choosing a DVCS for a project is becoming a lot like choosing a coding style. You *have* to
pick one, but quibbling over their relative technical advantages is increasingly bikeshedding.
It is a waste of time and energy for everyone involved.

For a GNU project, choosing to use the DVCS that is part of GNU is as good a reason as any, so
I don't really see the point of this article, except to take cheap shots at Stallman and GNU
and their "agenda."

No cheap shots were intended, nor do I think there are any in the article.  Sorry it seemed
that way to you, but I was just trying to report on what was going on in the project.
