If this thread has anything clear to me at all, it's that adding
*more* people to this discussion isn't going to bring us any closer to
an agreement.

Here's a thought:

How about we appoint (formally, informally, whatever, it's beside the
point) someone (3-4 people tops) to come up with a set of tools and
the rest of us just shut up, use the tools, write some cool software
and don't waste another full development cycle arguing about stuff
we'll never agree on anyway?

Yes, I will probably waste a good 10-20 minutes retraining my muscle
memory to not type "bzr", but rather "darcs", "hg", "git" or whatever
this group comes up with. The alternative is to argue about this for
months, wait for something to get built based on this discussion,
start using it, wait a couple of weeks until the next mutiny, lather,
rinse, repeat. Seriously. Who -- apart from our competitors -- gains
anything at all from this?
