Here is a previous discussion on emacs-devel from Mar'13 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-03/threads.html#00870 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-03/thread... Stallman's opinion on this subject - http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-03/msg00905.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-03/msg009... TLDR Stallman doesn't want Emacs to give up on bzr (also a GNU project) yet. This opinion might change now though.

Just read the link to Stallman's opinion - side question: he signs his name with a Dr. prefix. But did he finish graduate school at MIT?

  According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman, he has 14 honorary doctorates and professorships.

    It's considered seriously naff to title yourself Dr. on the strength of an honorary doctorate, though — at the very least, you should add "honoris causa". (Even with an earned doctorate you're supposed to avoid referring to yourself as Dr. Smith, in the same way that you shouldn't introduce yourself as Mr. or Mrs. Smith.) Not that I'd really grudge the title to RMS though, who's done more technical hard work and innovation than many people who are running around with earned PhDs.

  Well, he did finish a physics degree at Harvard, which awards Doctor of Science titles
