Good point! ;-)

But probably I got your point more clearly. Several projects move away
from centric version control. I agree that this does not mean that
Subversion will die in the near future. I assume, that its user base is
still increasing. Btw. the ancient RCS is still in use today and running
fine on the latest hardware and OSes.

Unfortunately yes. Unfortunately because making the wrong decision may
drive the rest of our community towards FreeRTOS. ;-)

Please do not miss my answer to Marti's post, which I will write now.
