You're right, but I think you've taken my hypotethical scenario more literally than it was intended. I was more imagining if we lost git and everything that went with it and were free from the real-life concerns like backward compatibility - an opportunity for a completely fresh start. I think that's a fair scenario for evaluating whether or not a tool designed for a small number of people for a specific purpose has successfully transitioned into one used by many people for many purposes.
