I run OpenBSD on most of my systems. The OpenBSD development team collaborates using cvs instead of git because it fits their workflow well. If I wanted to collaborate with them, I'd use cvs too – and if I wanted to move them to git I'd do it after becoming a core contributor, not before. If I'm going to send bug reports & patches here and there, I'm going to do it in a way that makes it easy for Theo and team to review. This is very much a Chesterton's fence topic, I think. Linux developers have settled on a workflow that works for them, and if you want to get time from the people who are doing the bulk of the work it's fair to expect you to work within their requests.
