Actually, while that's almost certainly a good idea, right now is precisely not the time to be doing that. Too many changes all at once just lead to chaos.
I'd prefer to see it sooner rather than later. The more like an open source project this is the better.
And even that leaves aside the question of just which of those systems to adopt, which is a question, every other time I have seen it (other contexts), that never seems to get settled quickly - they all seem to have different advantages and disadvantages, which is "best" depends a lot on what each individual user sees as most important.
That was true a couple of years ago, but now I think you'll find most objective observers agree that git has won and is the rational choice (note thats rational, not best). And thanks for continuing the work. Stephen blog.joda.org
