You're right. It was. I was intentionally flip; partly to goad people into 
making an actual case for Giovanni's fears, partly because I was tired and 
wanted to go to bed, and partly for my own entertainment.

I promise to contain my flipness if anyone will make a real case that the two 
situations are comparable. Surely, "this smells like the BitKeeper fiasco," is 
rather more simplistic than how others are trying to make it sound. My Googling 
brings up no argument more robust than that, either for the PSF or the ASF, and 
the infrastructure list's archives are closed.
