Please stop the paranoia and have faith. Where's guarantee you won't be hit
by a bus today?

If BK migrates to proprietary format everybody will notice and you'll still
have the opportunity to rescue a not too old repository and carry on with
life using whatever alternate SCM you wish. If such a thing happened Lary
