From the conclusion at the end of the article:
"We aren’t going to abandon DVCSes. And honestly, at the end of the day, I don’t know if I want you to. I am, after all, still a DVCS apologist, and I still want to use DVCSes, because I happen to like them a ton. But I do think it’s time all of us apologists take a step back, put down the crazy juice, and admit, if only for a moment, that we have made things horrendously more complicated to achieve ends that could have been met in many other ways."
In the next paragraph, the author links to a post that explains how Facebook will soon experience productivity bottlenecks because of their repository size. That post also explains why they don't want to split up their repository and that, "..the idea that the scaling constraints of our source control system should dictate our code structure just doesn't sit well with us."
These are not UX gripes and the problems aren't solved by adding more cheap storage.
