I've told other people before and I'll tell you again: Please, pretty please, leave linux-kernel for discussions about the linux kernel and leave the bitkeeper flames for those that enjoy electronic pyrotechnic.
Apart from that: Larry is right. Noone cared about crappy ol' cvs until bk came alone and showed what everyone already knew. If you didn't have to improve cvs back then, it is still as good as it was, so thy improve it now? Pure jealousy?
