I'm actually curious -- I understand that you have tech debt that prevents you from moving to Git, and I'm not here to tell you your concerns are irrelevant. At what point do the compromises that tech debt forces you into hamper the visibility of the project?
This seems to be a continuous problem in the open source community. As tools, maintainers, and support platforms age, how do you deal with the tech debt of keeping them supported? It's an easier calculation for a business; I'm just curious how various open source projects make these kinds of choices absent a corporate benefactor that sets direction.
