Correct.

xxx years ahead, when git will long be replaced by something else and 
the RTEMS project may long be history, the then-users will appreciate

any actual importance and with even less importance to future releases.

irrelevant and redundant to git. I vehemently disagreed (and still 
disagree) with this reasoning.
