Probably because they aren't needed anymore. And if Linux uses BK he could decide that BK is replacing the prepatches system.
IMHO you're confusing a release strategy (prepatches) with a tool (BK).
Those things are related. The prepatching system also uses tools (diff and patch). But with a source control system you can do those things much better and thus a repository could replace prepatches. You can just have no development versions anymore, only a development branch which would provide the same functionality.
They do. They give the impression that they can't do everything with free software and have to use non-free software. That isn't really
Well -- ande this is actually true and usually a result of some kind or other of vendor lock-in. Think about PDF. My god, how I wish to get that replaced by something free which every windows user can read.
AFAIK PDF is pretty free. The only problem is that you can't easily modify it, but it's at least better than M$ word documents.
