Agreed. It's better to wait. Also note, that:
- For obvious reasons, git and other distributed VC systems are more suited
for larger projects with a real lot of contributors. Even in the case of the
top level projects, there aren't too many that qualify for that.
- Even now, it is possible to work with git, if you want to: See

I do not know how far Jason van Zyl's attempts have grown or not,
but the point
is that his intentions have been to gather experience. Anyone else is free to
do the same.
