Darcs certainly isn't ready (performance wise), but if kernel
development really does move to an open source SCM, then darcs and all
of it's brethren will be winners since it will become feasible to have
bi-directional gateways between arch/darcs/etc. kernel trees (something
that wasn't possible with bk due to the incomplete patch information
made available). This can only result in more rapid development and
allow kernel developers to ultimately use the tools of their own
choosing to maintain their trees.
