* It's familiar but also new-n-improved (whiter, brighter, softer). People
get scared if presented with too much change. They like `upgrading' (even
if only in name), not switching.

actual organization is) development process gives people warm fuzzies that
it's `safe.' It's like CVS, but all grown up!
* So does the apparent connection with the old CVS hackers (who're now
respectable citizens).
