Somehow this has assumed the form of a discussion about whether or not touse a VCS. It isn't (or never was to me, anyway.) At least I'm not "afraid" of
either RST or VCS. I as second only to bowerbird in using the term ReStructured
Text in this forum. I'm pretty intimate with several VCS systems.
My suggestion has been from the start that we take the specific technology
out of the discussion until we have clearly identified the problem we
intend to solve and then we can discuss alternative ways to solve it. One
of which may be a vcs.
The title of the thread is "Goals and Scope", which seems to have
turned into "we're installing a vcs because we need as vcs".

Just stop the fruitless complaining and get your act together.
Seems like a bit of a silly comment, when you are literally holding the only
keys to the door, and are allowing only your own ideas in.
Open up the VCS to other languages and other approaches, so that the
competing ideas can be compared next to your own.
