Yes, I've followed the discussion on emacs-devel. Compared to Emacs, Gnus is a much smaller project though, so I reckon the much discussed performance problem regarding 'bzr log' et al. wouldn't be such a big issue. I just thought that using bzr for Gnus would make syncing with Emacs easier, but I guess converting from git or hg wouldn't be a big deal, either. I personally use (and prefer) git, but at the moment I would already be happy if Gnus would switch to any DVCS at all. -David
