Eric S. Raymond has
a message to emacs-devel suggesting that the project move from Bazaar (bzr) to Git. It is not the first time the idea has come up, but it would seem that Richard Stallman is
to such a move as he has been in the past. Raymond writes:
The bzr version control system is dying; by most measures it is
already moribund. The dev list has flatlined, most of Canonical's
in-house projects have abandoned bzr for git, and one of its senior
developers has written a remarkably candid assessment of why bzr
failed:

I urge all Emacs developers to read this, then sleep on it, then read
it again - not least because I think Emacs development has fallen into
some of the same traps the author decribes. But *that* is a discussion for
another day; the conversation we need to have now is about escaping
the gravitational pull of bzr's failure.
