KDE Moves to BitKeeper

jonathan_ingram writes "After struggling for several months with a planned changeover from CVS to Subversion, the KDE team have abandoned the effort, and decided to move to BitKeeper instead. As KDE's press release states: "The KDE project had been using CVS for a number of years, but due to persistent and crippling limitations it was finally decided to convert the massive source repository to Subversion, a next-generation CVS clone with fewer limitations. Unfortunately, due to many unresolved issues and technical problems with Subversion, the move has proven impossible. After an intense internal debate, it was finally decided that BitKeeper would be the most appropriate choice for a new revision control system, given its proven superiority and track record in the Open Source community. BitKeeper has enjoyed wide-spread success and praise as the official source code repository for the GNU/Linux kernel."

Next year, ONE April Fools story. Got that? ONE! Maybe that way you'll put some thought into making it Funny/Insightful/WorthFsckingReading.
You can link to everyone else's cleverness in a Slashback (remember those?) style roundup.
That is all. Carry on.

April fools gags were only allowed until noon.
That was just a cop-out excuse made by people with no sense of humour.
