Hi Jon,

Uncharacteristically, you seem to have overlooked the significance of a high-profile FOSS project adopting Tom Lord's Arch revision control system. This is major vindication for Tom, and a great opportunity for developers to find out if Arch scales well on a decentralized, parallel project. It bodes well for the prospect of kernel development returning, in time, to a 100% FOSS tool chain.

Of course, I'm also enormously pleased that X development will now benefit from a virtuous cycle of team competition. Way to go, Keith and Tom, I have every expectation that my computer is going to work better next year, because of you.

Regards,

Daniel
