Not surprising
You are talking about the destruction of BitKeeper like this is a good thing! Here is a personal friend of Linus who gave all of us a free version of his software so Linux could be written faster and you repay him by hoping for his demise?

If you can't see the parallels between this and what MS is lambasted for doing (release free versions of stuff to destroy competitors) then you are denser than I originally thought. Like I said before, when dealing with Stallman and OSS zealots, no good deed goes unpunished.
