I doubt I'm the only one who assigned a well under 50% chance of actually 
seeing it happen, believing gentoo was ultimately destined to become a 
Linux historical footnote due to failure to switch to git!  I've been on 
gentoo over a decade, now, and stuck on CVS, I honestly didn't know if 
it'd last another.

Obviously, I'm VERY glad to see the git switch actually scheduled! =:^)

Thanks... just isn't a sufficient word to convey my gratitude to all the 
folks that have been working on this.  Seriously.  This switch to git 
puts you up with the gentoo greats such as DRobbins, in my book.  Because 
without it, let's face it, gentoo /was/ slipping ever so slowly into 
history, and this really does, I believe, give us a chance to turn that 
around.
