We don't need to re-invent a better source control system.. Bitkeeper, Git, darcs, monotone, mercurial have all already tried that. I would

just like openafs to pick one and go with it.

Troy:

The OpenAFS gatekeepers use a set of development tools for managing
DELTAs and pullups which were built on top of cvs.  The migration of
the history of these tools and the conversion of these tools into
any other source control system has proven extremely difficult and
time consuming.

OpenAFS also requires source control on Windows as well as UNIX.  This
provides another set of complications.

We are well aware of the need for improving access to the repository.

However, the incorporation of the Foundation will not make the conversion to a new system happen any faster or slower than it is already going.
