If you think Git is better suited, please demonstrate it by building up
an equivalent infrastructure that has been built up around bzr, so fair
side-by-side comparisons can be performed.

Right now, that vote would be:

 ( ) continue using the existing apt-get source infrastructure, and
     contribute by sending debdiffs around; merge from Debian by hand,
     etc.

 ( ) use the new bzr infrastructure, contribute directly to revision
     control branches, merge using native merge support

Because there is no Git or Mercurial infrastructure.


Ubuntu is, first and foremost, work driven.  Those who actually do the
work win; taking a decision between something that works, and something
that does not exist, is nonsense.  If we have two competing things that
work (or two things in development that compete), we have a Technical
Board to arbitrate such matters; they may likely ask for opinions on the
matter.
