But BitKeeper was created by an old guy (Larry Larry McVoy[1]) who was born in 1962. Not only that, but BitKeeper is built on top of SCCS[2] which predates RCS (and RCS predates CVS).
BitKeeper was a totally new solution to a very old problem that was "solved" years ago. It was created by an "old guy" who knew the wheel had a large flat spot and figured out how to make it round. It was subsequently adopted by another "old guy" (Linus) who refused to use wheels with flat spots.
