FreeBSD uses it for the operating system. While he complains that svn is obsolete, he then goes on to say it's widely used, and so far, it seems pretty important when games and operating systems--and more--are using it.
- dtech 8y agoobsolete ≠ unimportant. I think most would agree that COBOL is an obsolete programming language, yet half the worlds financial systems still run on it. How many percentage of new projects use svn instead of git? That it a much better metric for how obsolete something is.
- sontek 8y agoObsolete means to no longer be produced or used... These things are not obsolete. They aren't cool / widely used but definitely not obsolete if half the worlds financial systems still run on them.
- dtech 8y agoFrom merriam webster: 1a : no longer in use or no longer useful // an obsolete word b : of a kind or style no longer current : old-fashioned // an obsolete technology A good example is a satellite, lots of older (obsolete model) satellites are still in orbit and performing well, and replacing them is not worth the cost. But if a new satellite is needed the newest model will be send up, not the obsolete model.
