No: this *is* examining the technical issues. Richard has done actual engineering here; it's moderately depressing that many members of this list, and particularly some of the more vocal, don't seem able to recognize the difference. Fossil likely has bugs, because all large software likely does. Nobody's pretended otherwise. To the contrary, some of these bugs have been openly discussed on this list. Some have been identified and fixed in the past. The fossil of today is much more stable than the initial release, and seems to be at least in the same neighborhood as other comparable alternatives (cwfs, ken's fs, various unix file systems). Assertions to the contrary should be accompanied by data.
